Sustainable Environment
We believe to Get More Out of every project means focusing on results that not only benefit our customers, but the environment too. We've proven that sound, sustainable environmental business practices reduces costs and mitigates risk now, and in the long-term.
Sustainable environmental practices are built into all aspects of our business model.
All hydrovac waste generated in our daily work is recycled for reuse into water, silts, clays, and aggregates at our on-premise processing facility.
We use high efficiency LED lighting throughout our facility, cutting down on energy consumption.
Our 2.5-hectare hydrovac soil disposal and recycling facility is ECA approved.
Sustainable Practices
Hydro excavation
We are proving that what’s good for business can also be good for the environment.
OE is committed to sustainable and cost-effective operations. We are the only hydro excavator in the GTA with our own 94,000 sq. ft. facility housing the OE fleet and our soil processing and recycling facility.
We view hydrovac waste as a valuable resource awaiting its next use. When hydrovac slurry is processed at our recycling facility, water is extracted and reused throughout the recycling process and to refill hydrovac trucks.
recycling Facility
We are striving to process 100% of all the hydrovac waste we receive and recycle it into materials ready for valued reuse.
Fine aggregates and sand are washed and extracted to meet the Ontario Provincial Standard Specification and are often used to refill excavated holes. Silts and clays are converted from waste into clean fill. Our facility is ECA approved. All materials are tested to ensure compliance with new Ontario provincial soil regulations.
