Treating Contaminants from the Arctic Circle to Antarctica

Our clients depend on us to completely remediate contaminants—safely, on time, and on budget.

Our Technology

Treating Contaminants from the Arctic Circle to Antarctica

Remediation of Explosives-Impacted Soil

Reclaim land with explosives-impacted soil. Our Enhanced Thermal Conduction technology safely restores soil, allowing cities and states to safely rebuild. Pictured is a photo from the notable Ravenna Army Ammunition Plant in Ohio where artillery was made for WWII, the Korean and Vietnam War.

Restoring Antarctica's Soil

Our technology meets the most stringent environmental regulations on the planet, taking our team to Antarctica to restore impacted soil in challenging conditions.

Soil Restoration Edson Pipeline

11,000 tons of hydrocarbon impacted soil in Edson, Alberta was restored in approximately 6 months.

Our Enhanced Thermal Conduction technology utilizes petroleum-impacted soil to fuel the restoration treatment.

70-Year Old Hydrocarbon Contaminants

The remediation of this heavily impacted hydrocarbon dump site in Yukon’s City of Whitehorse took 11-months to fully restore.

Site Assessment & Technology Selection

Iron Creek Group evaluates site conditions, contaminant type, and material characteristics (dry soil vs. wet sludge) to determine whether ETC, TecZero™, or a combination of both is the right fit for the job.

Mobilization

Equipment mobilizes directly to the site by air, ship or truck and is operational within days of arrival.

Excavation & Treatment

Contaminated soils and/or sludges are excavated and treated in a self-contained system: ETC stacks drier soil over heating elements and encloses it for indirect thermal treatment; TecZero™ processes wet material in modular bins without prescreening.

Contaminant Destruction

Vaporized contaminants are captured and destroyed, meeting or exceeding applicable regulatory standards. The result delists and declassifies waste.

Backfill

Treated soil is able to be backfilled on site without the need to source replacement fill.

Regulatory Closure

Iron Creek Group documents treatment results to support the client’s regulatory sign-off and site closure process.

Preserving Soil Structure

Backfilling with the original treated soil eliminates the need to import soil and the risk associated with invasive species.

The photo shows the visible change in soil after Enhanced Thermal Conduction (ETC) treatment. 

The material on the right is the treated soil; clean, odorless and free of hydrocarbon staining. Because the operation is static, the process doesn’t pulverize the soil like other thermal treatments. Thus, the soil maintains the integrity of its structure while it’s evenly penetrated with heat. Rainwater activates the microbes in the soil allowing it to naturally revegetate. ETC technology can treat even the most thickest clays.
