HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

DANGEROUS SUBSTANCES DISPOSED OF SAFELY 

Thanks to our in house experts and a network of contacts within the haulage, plant, recycling, logistics and disposal industries we are capable of moving almost any substance, no matter the hazard, to and from nearly anywhere in the world.

Over the past decade we have become the go to company to transport Lithium. Given the highly reactive nature of lithium, strict regulation has been imposed on the production, usage, and disposal of the substance. It burns at extremely high temperatures meaning that it requires specialist furnaces that can withstand the extreme heat to destroy it. It is an accelerant which means that it burns producing oxygen which then feeds the fire. It reacts with air and water and is potentially explosive when combined with either. Lithium fires are difficult to put out and require specialist extinguishers.

As well as commercial batteries, lithium is used extensively in the nuclear industry and as fuel for weapons like torpedoes and rockets. Obviously given the nature of these two usages, safety and security are paramount and this requires extensive planning and expertise to extricate spent weapons from challenging environments like battlefields and remote or dangerous terrain.

Companies and organisations need the assurance that their lithium products will be handled and destroyed in a responsible manner. Many transport companies will refuse to carry lithium due to its dangerous nature. That is where we come in.

Our extensive experience in logistics planning means that conflict zones and mountains need not be a barrier to us safely removing your hazardous waste. Working with you and our partners, we design a custom solution based on your exact requirements to avoid geographical or military boundaries and ensure the safe extrication of the goods to their final location.

All this with a fully accountable audit trail means that you can prove that you have disposed of your hazardous waste in line with current regulation and you can have peace of mind knowing that you have fulfilled your duty of care.
