The process consists of the removal of contaminants from the environment, which are transferred for subsequent treatment and final disposal safely.

One of the main impacts of industrial activity is the pollution produced by the dispersion, spill or transfer of dangerous substances that, finally, accumulate in the soils of industrial facilities, thus generating various diseases for human beings and also negative effects for the environment.

In Chile, there are around 9,271 sites with the potential presence of contaminants (SPPC), according to data from the Ministry of the Environment. 

For this reason, and aligned with Chile's progress towards sustainability, at Hidronor we are present in the national industry with services that contribute to environmental remediation. In our 25 years of history, we have already managed more than 500,000 tons of contaminated soil.

Sanitation process

The process of remediation and restoration of contaminated land It consists of the removal of contaminants from the environment, which are transferred for subsequent treatment and final disposal safely. In detail, it is done:

• Analysis and characterization of waste. ISO 17025 accredited laboratory for organic and inorganic analysis.   
• Sampling plans, physical-chemical characterization for determination of contaminant concentrations.
• Analytical controls that ensure the decontamination of the land.
• Land remediation and delivery in optimal conditions for subsequent use.
• Extraction, transportation, stabilization treatment and final disposal in security deposits. 

At Hidronor we develop and implement robust and sustainable solutions that meet the needs of our clients and the community.
