High Energy Abatement

Provide workers who are trained to perform work around high voltage systems as well as certified to work with asbestos.

A major electrical power plant discovered that functioning breaker cells had become contaminated with asbestos due to years of using asbestos cement products as integral parts of the machinery. In order for workers to service and perform replacements where needed, it was necessary to return this machinery to an uncontaminated condition. A major challenge was that this plant provides power to thousands of people & facilities, so it was vital that the facility remain operational during any work. What was needed was an experienced abatement crew with the ability to work around high-voltage energy, and within the time frame of a detailed abatement schedule.

Enviro-Vac has specialized training for working around energized systems. They have the clearance to both access and work around active high voltage electrical systems.

As an asbestos removal contractor, Enviro-Vac provided a solution for the client that included both project management and abatement execution. Abatement work cost-effectively leveraged several crews from different locations with a wide variety of specialized experience to the project. And, through strict adherence to health and safety standards, Enviro-Vac personnel have now worked on numerous energized abatement sites in Canada without a single safety incident during operations around energized components.
