Soil Remediation

The discovery of contaminated soil can slow down a real estate project or drive up construction costs, and we know it. At Excavations Lampron, we take care of the complete decontamination of your property to make it safe and compliant, as quickly as possible.

Fuel oil tanks, dubious backfill or former industrial sites: every cubic metre of contaminated soil is rigorously managed in the Laurentians, Lanaudière, Laval, Montreal and the South Shore.

Sanitizing your floors with precision: the Lampron promise

Every tonne of contaminated soil sent unnecessarily to the treatment center means direct costs for you. Our ultra-precise selective excavation reduces the volumes transported to authorized sites, thereby minimizing your costs.

With 50 years of experience, we work with a network of environmental experts to deliver a safe, compliant site that will regain its full land value.

Rigor

We turn technical data into a concrete plan of action. Our proactive approach enables us to provide you with a realistic, detailed estimate, in which every dollar is invested in the rehabilitation of your property, with no unjustified extras.

Effectiveness

Restricted areas? No problem at all. Our specialized equipment can access them and quickly eliminate the source of contamination, while ensuring that deadlines are met and teams are safe.

Traceability

Each load is tracked by the Traces Québec system, providing irrefutable proof of the legal disposal of your land. With a decontamination certificate, you can be sure that your land retains its full value.

The secret to minimizing costs lies in selective excavation. Rather than sending everything to the treatment center, we isolate precisely the portions of contaminated soil by carefully reading environmental reports. By separating sound soil from contaminated soil directly on site, we reduce the tonnage billed by disposal centers and transportation costs.

The land decontamination certificate proves that your property meets the criteria set by the Ministère de l'Environnement, de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques, de la Faune et des Parcs (MELCCFP). Without it, it's almost impossible to obtain financing or sell your property.

Since 2023, the Environmental Quality Act requires that every movement of contaminated soil be documented. This legal protection proves that the soil has been disposed of at an approved site. Ignoring this step exposes you to severe fines and long-term civil liability.

No. Handling contaminated soil is governed by the Environmental Quality Act. Doing the decontamination yourself, without official monitoring slips, could render your property unmarketable and worsen contamination of the water table.

The price per tonne depends on the level of toxicity of the soil, according to criteria A, B, C or higher. Including excavation of contaminated soil, specialized transport and treatment costs, costs generally range from $75 to $175 per tonne. A field assessment is essential to obtain a realistic estimate and avoid unpleasant surprises.
