Surgical Excavation

When conventional excavation techniques are not feasible or are impractical, Clean Harbors employs “surgical excavation” techniques that safely provide a non-destructive and precise excavation practice in areas such as building basements, backyards, or other confined areas.  Surgical excavation techniques are used to locate/identify underground utilities, tanks, structures, or excavation near buildings, retaining walls or foundations and for excavation of buried drums, cylinders and unknown materials.

Buried Drums and Cylinders

Clean Harbors has vast experience handling complex buried drum, cylinders and unknown material excavation projects.  Clean Harbors applies surgical excavation techniques to excavate drums from the most challenging environments.  We provide complete drum management services including, Haz-Cat screening, sampling, profiling, manifesting and transportation and disposal of hazardous or non-hazardous waste.  These projects require careful investigation due to a large number of anomalies and the complexity of coordinating heavy equipment operations, drum handling and final site closure.
