Decontamination of whole facilities, premises, equipment or machinery can be a serious problem for industry and healthcare organisations. It is usually required prior to decommissioning of a site or production line or part of a routine maintenance programme. In any situation, G&A Environmental Services can be relied on to provide you with the best solution.
Our experience in this field is second to none. We have undertaken projects of all sizes, from small laboratories to large blue chip manufacturing plants, across the world. To read some of our case studies, see our website.
Contaminants come in many forms; chemical, biological, pharmaceutical, nuclear, hydrocarbon, and could be in the form of gas, liquid, powder or solid. Materials may be airborne, deposited on hard surfaces, lining ducts, filters or vents, or adhering to machinery and equipment. Each type of contamination requires specialist knowledge to ensure its safe and effective removal and elimination.
We use a range of applications and tailored procedures to ensure effective eradication of contamination. Immersion, high pressure washing, fogging, vapour cleaning, vacuum methods and UV light are all options in our deactivation processes.
Innovation
We have developed new techniques that reduce the use of harmful chemicals in the process that minimise environmental impact and allows our clients to recover valuable assets. These innovations are characteristic of the way we work. We will always look for the most cost effective and efficient methods, even if we have to challenge conventional ideas to produce a bespoke solution just for you.
Our capabilities
Pharmaceutical industry – handling chemical and biological agents, removal and re-use of machinery, redevelopment of product manufacturing lines, antibiotic, radioactive and hydrocarbon eradication. We are experts in the operations required by this industry and our track record and client list are testament to our ability to deliver.
Industry – bulk chemical storage, air handling systems, process plant equipment, production lines, and heavy metal contaminated areas. Toxic waste processors, incineration chimneys, chemical packaging
lines and radioactive units are all within our experience.
Healthcare – Super bugs such as MRSA/Swine flu/Legionnaires’disease and other pathogens all carry high public risk. Hospitals, laboratories, life science units, care homes and any areas subject to biological pathogens all benefit from our sterilisation processes.
Kitchen and catering de-greasing and cleaning – eradication of food borne illness creating pathogens such as Salmonella, e-coli and Listeria. Removal of grease and dirt from vents and ducting, steam cleaning and fogging of equipment and machinery.
