Game-Changing Polymers – Trenchless Article
Trenchless Technology Magazine published an article in their 2021 HDD Guide on the increasing demand for effective liquid waste disposal solutions. In this blog post, we’ll break down the article’s key takeaways.
Read MoreCan underground infrastructure improvements for transportation be cost-effective and environmentally friendly?
As cities continue to grow and expand, there is an increased need for investment in transportation infrastructure. Transportation infrastructure is not as simple as building new roads and subways, it requires a lot of planning and engineering.
Read MoreThe Demand For Hydro Excavation is Booming
The Hydro Excavation (Hydrovac) market experienced a surge in the last half decade. According to Global Hydrovac Trucks Market’s 2021 research report, the Hydrovac trucks market is expected to continue rising significantly from 2021 to 2026.
Read MoreMetaFLO’s Reagents Will Help You Comply With Ontario’s New Excess Soil Regulations
All across Canada, municipal and provincial governments have been adjusting regulations pertaining to excess soils. This is largely due to recognition of soil as a valuable commodity. Soil provides habitats for organisms, filters and stores water, supports plant growth, and even more.
Read MoreLiquid waste is a necessary byproduct of many industrial projects … expensive transportation and disposal doesn’t have to be!
MetaFLO reagents turn liquid waste into a stackable solid in real time while adding only 1/2 of 1% of the liquid waste volume. A proprietary reagent chemistry, MetaFLO reagents replace the need for many common and more costly alternatives like Portland cement, sawdust, lime, fly ash and others giving you an easy, quick and environmentally friendly way to manage your liquid waste streams.
Read MoreDelving Into the Science Behind Solidification
Solidification of liquid waste streams, including drilling mud, wet hydro excavation material and tunneling spoils, started out as a very rudimentary process. Dry material (i.e. dry dirt) would be added to wet material (i.e. drilling mud) in order to get a dry (solid) material that was suitable for transportation and disposal.
Read MoreInnovation in Stormwater Pond Maintenance
The ponds you pass every day on your way to work or walking your dog in the evening are not typically spring fed, naturally occurring bodies of water left behind by receding mini glaciers from the last Pleistocene epoch. These ponds have been engineered in housing and commercial areas as a tool to manage water and capture particulate debris from snow melt and rain events.
Read MoreInnovation in wet tunnel spoils management from MetaFLO
Tunnel construction is underway in every population center around the world and the need is only going to grow as densification and urban migration outpace urban planning, outdated underground infrastructure and capacity.
Read MoreVale Waste Sludge Solidification
Vale owns and operates a mining site in Northern Ontario, Canada. Through their mining and refining activities they produce a sludge waste by-product. The clients were in need of an efficient excavation and transportation solution to get this sludge to their off-site landfill.
Read MoreDitch Witch partners with Metaflo Technologies, offering Solidification Reagents
Dumping liquid spoils from directional drilling is highly regulated, costly and time consuming. To combat these challenges, Ditch Witch®, a Charles Machine Works Company, has partnered with MetaFLO Technologies to be the exclusive provider of SolidState™ 2 and SolidState™ 6 solidification reagents. This partnership will provide a more accessible and efficient process for the solidification of drilling spoils to an extended network of users and contractors.
