Manufacturing & Industrial Plants

Manufacturing and industrial facilities demand precision, safety, and strict environmental compliance — and that’s where our services deliver real value. These operations generate a wide range of regulated waste materials, including spent chemicals, oils, sludges, and production by-products that require specialized handling.

Construction & Demolition

Construction sites face strict environmental regulations when it comes to managing soil, water, and waste — and that’s where our support is essential. We provide contaminated soil disposal, onsite water filtration systems, and pH balancing to ensure compliance with environmental standards.

We also offer hydrovac services for precise, non-destructive excavation and sludge removal. Whether you’re working on a large infrastructure project or a smaller residential build, Sumas helps keep your site compliant, efficient, and clean.

Oil, Gas & Chemical Processing

In the high-risk world of oil, gas, and chemical processing, proper waste handling isn’t optional — it’s critical. We specialize in the collection, neutralization, and disposal of hazardous waste in all forms, including solids, liquids, and gases. Our confined space cleaning and tank servicing help maintain safe conditions inside critical infrastructure, while our hydrovac trucks handle sludge removal with speed and precision. With tote recycling, we also support sustainable practices by refurbishing reusable containers. At Sumas, we provide reliable, regulation-compliant services that reduce downtime and mitigate environmental risk in even the most complex facilities.
