REMEDIATION

Demolition

Transportation

We employ project management, construction, demolition, on-site treatment and transportation services to not only stop or reverse an environmental problem but also generate revenue for our clients.

Sometimes the best choice in remediation is to demolish the abandoned or contaminated property to clear the way for new developments that create jobs, increase surrounding property values and enhance the tax base.

We offer comprehensive transportation services across North America for every type of waste. All transportation personnel comply with DOT regulations, have met OSHA training standards, and they are covered by American Environmental’s “A” rated liability insurance.

The use of pressure is a key part of any cleaning job.

But these jobs also come with another kind of pressure, which is

where our experience really comes into play. We have safely and efficiently handled

virtually every kind of remediation and emergency response project, including

hazardous materials, oil spills, contaminated soil excavation, bioremediation, industrial fire

suppression, and more. We’ve dealt with some of the world’s toughest and most demanding jobs.

We just had to be even tougher and more demanding.

Approaching

each project

from a

clean, new

perspective.

Every project and every solution has a beginning.

At American Environmental, solutions begin

before they are applied in the field. We start

each project on the drawing board, finding

new and more innovative ways to achieve our goals,

engineering and re-engineering to get the job done faster

and more efficiently than ever before. Already, this has

led to several proprietary processes that have achieved

impressive results for our clients. No two projects are

ever the same. Neither should be their solutions.

Tank Cleaning

Degassing

Pneumatic Excavation

We approach each tank cleaning as a unique job. We plan more, but ultimately the job is less labor intensive, more cost effective, safer, and the waste is handled in professional manner.

Our “unique approach” enables us to manage high concentrations of vapors from storage tanks, vacuum trucks, exhausts, pipelines, sumps, ships, marine barges, soil, groundwater and odor control.

Pneumatic excavation can be the most efficient and versatile process for removing waste products. In our hands, and with our approach of each job as singular, this is usually the outcome.

There’s no denying that much of what we do is dirty, dangerous work. But through

our commitment to careful planning and our dedication to training and detail, we achieve an uncompromising level of safety. Nothing comes before the well-being of the work force, the surrounding community and the environment. At American Environmental, we

have set the standard in our ability to balance safety with operational performance.

When you want it “undone” right, call us first.

No matter what the project. Whether it involves an unforeseen

disaster, regular maintenance or mechanical and construction,

there’s one way to make sure the situation

is resolved and that the job is cleanly, precisely and efficiently done. Call the pros

at American Environmental. The confidence

you place in us is the one thing that will

never be undone.

TANK WASH

We offer both truck, rail tank and washing services, and we can handle everything from a typical roll off container wash to a “dig out.” Each tank is purged of any product residue and vapors before cleaning begins, and the residue is drummed to be recycled or transported for approved disposal. Only after residues and vapors are removed do cleaning technicians inspect the condition of the tank interior and begin the cleaning process. We know that downtime is crucial, and we are committed to doing the job right and getting your rail or truck tanker back on the job and earning for you.

Tank cleaning involves the removal of sludge and residual

products from the interior of storage tanks to allow

inspection repair, and/or product changeover. American

Environmental offers customers turnkey services that will

assist in meeting stringent federal, state and local regulations.

These regulations pertain to emission reductions, waste

minimization and required inspection/repair intervals. American

Environmental’s services include desludging, extraction

of solids, gas freeing, temporary storage of sludge, sludge

processing, waste transportation and tank demolition. American

Environmental has API-Trained Tank Entry Supervisor Project

Managers that understand the critical nature of tank cleaning

that pertains to API standards.

• Robotic Tank Cleaning

• Mechanical Waste Removal

• Hydro Cutting (cold cutting)

• Seal Removal

• Roof Jacking and Removal of IFR and EFR’s

• Pontoon Removal

• Leg Drilling and Resetting

• Fluidization of Solids for Fuels Blending

• Auger and Belts for Solids Removal

• Sandblasting

• Dry Ice Blasting

American Environmental can clean any size tank and

process the associated sludge. Several of the more unique

processes are described in more detail below. Tank

cleaning is usually approached with a “you’ve cleaned one tank

you can clean any tank” attitude.” At American Environmental,

each tank is evaluated as to what is the least labor intensive, most

cost effective, safest and professional approach to cleaning. This

“each job is unique” approach is the cornerstone of our business.

Through planning and commitment, we will find the safest and

most cost-effective solution.

TANK CLEANING EXAMPLES:

American Environmental has extensive spill response

capabilities for both oil and hazardous materials.

Response actions are pre-planned and rehearsed for a

variety of scenarios. These include storage vessel leaks, tanker

truck spills, derailments, marine spills, pipeline ruptures and

accidental discharges to waterways. Response team members

are 40-hour OSHA HAZWOPER trained.

THE KEY TO EFFICIENT AND COST-EFFECTIVE CONTAINMENT

DURING AN ACTIVE SPILL IS TIME. With its North American

network of response teams, American Environmental can

pull together large response teams capable of expeditiously

containing and removing a variety of spilled materials.

• 24-hour emergency response

• North American network of Response Teams

• 40-hour OSHA HAZWOPER trained personnel

• Containment, treatment, removal and transportation

capabilities for turnkey response actions

Features and Benefits:

The Oil Pollution Act of 1990

requires many industrial

companies to have a spill

response plan in place.

American Environmental has

the expertise to assist with

planning and implementing

such response programs.

Air-moving, or pneumatic conveyance, is a very efficient

and versatile process for removing materials or

industrial waste contained in tanks, containers, surface

impoundments or process vessels. Using controllable suction

velocities of up to 150 mph, air-movers can convey almost any

material that will fit through an eight-inch hose over a distance

of up to 1,000 feet, depending on the material’s weight. Material

or waste is deposited into truck-mounted collector modules,

drums or other intermediate containers (e.g. vacuum-tight roll-

off containers) for transportation to its ultimate disposition.

Some air-movers have augers,

sludge pumps, cyclone

separators and pneumatic

unloading systems (often referred

to as “blow-off systems”) for a

variety of specialized applications.

Using a cyclone separator unit

(either a stand-alone unit or one built into the air-mover itself),

material collected by the air mover can be either drummed or

bagged for specialized disposal requirements.

AMERICAN ENVIRONMENTAL uses a vacuum-tight roll-off

system to be used in combination with the air-mover.

This system allows the air-mover to remain in virtually

continuous operation, which can be especially important with

large volume projects. Under this process, the air-mover loads

the vacuum-tight roll-off containers, one after another, while a

roll-off truck transports the full containers to disposal sites or

storage areas. This system can decrease elapsed project time

by up to 60 percent in comparison to using an air-mover on

a stand-alone basis. These roll-off containers can be used for

specialized waste handling or for material recovery. American

Environmental uses a process for inserting a polyethylene or

polypropylene liner inside of the vacuum-tight roll-off container

in order to capture material recovery or fulfill specialized

disposal requirements. These specialized liners can hold up to

40 cubic yards by volume and, reinforced with lifting straps, can

accommodate up to 10 tons of material.

A wide range of materials can be handled: wet, dry, non-hazardous

and hazardous. Consistency can range from fine powder to bricks.

Specialty applications include the unloading and reloading of tower

packing, process vessels, reactors and water treatment vessels.

American Environmental utilizes vacuum-tight roll-off

containers to further enhance the productivity of an air-

mover or pneumatic conveyance. This complementary

system was designed to provide customers with an efficient,

cost-saving method of removing, transporting and disposing large

waste volumes. The air-mover/roll-off combination can reduce the

time of performing a service by as much as 60 percent. Vacuum-

tight roll-off containers can be used for loading, storage and/or

transportation of reusable materials such as perlite, tower packing,

ion exchange resins and other recyclable materials. In addition,

the vacuum-tight roll-off boxes can handle hazardous and

nonhazardous wastes as well as corrosive and flammable solids.

In addition, American Environmental utilizes a process

whereby material is collected in large-volume polyethylene

or polypropylene liner bags (up to 40-cubic yards). These

liners are installed inside the vacuum containers, allowing

material to be collected for either product recovery/storage

or to fulfill specialized disposal requirements such as odor or

dust suppression. Reinforced with straps, these bags can hold

material weighing up to 10 tons.

• SLIDE-TOP, SEALED CONTAINERS are used for materials

requiring air-tight storage, such as NESHAP-regulated benzene.

• Our Roll-off equipment includes three-axle bobtail trucks

for delivering containers and in-plant services.

• All roll-off equipment operators are qualified under

DOT and OSHA regulations for handling hazardous and

non-hazardous industrial wastes.

• Increased productivity of air-moving equipment for

large volume projects.

• Enhanced material recovery capabilities.

• OUR Tractor/trailer roll-off combinations are

used for economical transportation of loaded containers

to disposal sites.

Capacities of these roll-off containers range from 20 to 40 cubic yards. Each container is capable of handling both dry waste and sludges.

• Open-top sludge boxes are also available.

American Environmental has a

wide variety of other roll-off

containers:

is permitted to transport both hazardous and

nonhazardous waste in most states, including those requiring

authority for intrastate hauls. We have a large variety of

equipment, including liquid vacuum tankers, liquid vacuum

trucks, end-dumps, vans, flatbeds and other vehicles.

Liquid vacuum tankers provide economical transportation

of bulk liquids to off-site destinations. Some are stainless

steel to handle acids or other corrosive materials. In

addition to liquids, we transport drums, ash, and other waste.

All transportation personnel comply with DOT regulations and

have fulfilled applicable OSHA training standards, ensuring

proper management and control of loads while in transit. Further,

American Environmental carries both contractor’s pollution and

transportation liability insurance with an “A” rated carrier.

American Environmental’s

transportation services

are an alternative to

third-party transportation

contractors and offer our

clients environmentally

sound, safe transportation.

Pneumatic Excavation includes both surface and subsurface

utility locating services. Pneumatic excavation can be the

most efficient and versatile process for removing waste

products. In our hands, and with our unique approach to each

job, we remove the waste efficiently and completely.

This technology is most effective when used during the

preliminary engineering phase on projects where utility conflicts

are likely to occur.

Our customers benefit FROM

significantly reduced

construction delays and

contractor CLAIMS OTHERWISE

CAUSED by unexpected

conflicts with utilities

during construction.

• The first phase of surface locating utilizes techniques and

instruments developed and perfected by the geophysical

prospecting industry, allowing technicians to identify the

horizontal trace of the line prior to actual digging.

• The second phase of subsurface locating utilizes a highly

specialized method of Pneumatic Excavation which exposes

the utility line, enabling an exact visual determination of its

location with little disruption to existing land uses or highway

traffic and no damage to the utility line itself.

PHASES:

Demolition is often the best option for abandoned or

unusable assets. The demolition of a contaminated

or abandoned property can clear the way for new

developments that create jobs, increase surrounding property

values and enhance the tax base. However, removing a sizable

structure requires planning and preparation before the first piece

of equipment enters the worksite. We always consult with the

site owners and managers that know their property best, and we

utilize this knowledge for a safe and seamless site transition.

With every demolition, environmental stewardship is a priority.

We estimate the potential value of scrap metals and recyclables

to ensure a cost-effective and environmentally friendly project.

Anticipating and executing plans to address the surrounding

community’s concerns, such as dust suppression, is a vital part of

every demolition. We will work with the owner or manager to adjust

any procedures or add polices that ensure safe surroundings.

At American Environmental, we

believe that it is paramount

that we work with the customer

and their staff to establish

project-specific timetables

and projections.

• Concrete Demolition

• Asset Recovery

• Onsite Crushing

• Decontamination

Choosing the right contractor for any project is important,

but when the project is remediation of soil, water or

vapor, selecting the right vendor is essential. Our on-site

supervisors are experienced veterans who know how to keep a

project on track and avoid time consuming delays and downtime.

Each day that your tank is out of service means lost revenue for

your company. Each degassing project should be planned in

advance to assure that all regulatory requirements will be met and

to establish a schedule for completion of work.

There are new laws that require you to maintain certain levels of

safety and air quality when emptying or cleaning tanks containing

volatile organic chemicals. The vapors left inside the tanks are

hazardous to personnel health. Proper degassing is a must.

Our “unique approach”

enables us to manage high

concentrations of vapors

from storage tanks,

vacuum truckS, exhaustS,

pipelines, sumps, ships,

marine barges and soil.

Remediation is project management, construction,

demolition, on-site treatment, and transportation services

applied to solve environmental contamination problems.

Remediation can range from simple soil excavation and disposal

to complex programs requiring a combination of decommissioning

and characterization or remedial technologies. Combined with

investment recovery, American Environmental’s remedial services

not only solve environmental problems, close facilities, or reduce

wastes – they can generate revenue for our clients.

Remediation varies greatly depending on the type of contaminant,

the media that is contaminated (soil, sediment, groundwater),

the regulatory agencies that have jurisdiction over the site,

the regulatory framework under which the work is performed

(CERCLA, RCRA, TSCA, voluntary action, UST regulations, etc.),

the customer’s environmental and risk preference, intended

future use of the site and many other criteria. Remediation work

is typically performed in accordance with site-specific work plans,

sampling plans, quality assurance plans, and health & safety plans

conforming to local, state and federal requirements, and the work

is usually subject to regulatory agency oversight and review.

For these reasons, an experienced remediation team is essential

to ensure proper completion. American Environmental has

implemented remediation projects and installed remedial systems

for soil and groundwater contaminated with a wide variety of

petroleum products, low-level radioactive waste, heavy metals,

chlorinated and non-chlorinated solvents, polychlorinated

biphenyls (PCBs), pesticides and mercury. American

Environmental’s experience includes both established remediation

methods and innovative techniques that can save the customer

downtime and money.

• Building demolition

• Civil and Environmental Contracting Services

• Design of closure plans and post-closure monitoring

programs for landfills, impoundments and waste piles

• Industrial facility cleanup and construction management,

on-site observation and testing for medial action or new

facility construction

• Excavation and disposal
