Restoring your soil sustainably and safely
When a site shows contamination caused by industrial or agricultural activities, or by accidental spills, it is essential to act quickly and effectively.
The site remediation and decontamination services from Géostar aim to identify, treat, and restore affected soils, allowing them to be reused safely and in compliance with Quebec environmental standards.
Our experts perform a complete site assessment to determine the nature, origin, and extent of the contamination.
Based on the results, we propose tailored solutions such as:
in situ treatments, which clean up the soil directly on-site using specialized microbiological or chemical processes;
or excavation techniques and safe management of contaminated soils, when the situation requires it.
Throughout the process, Géostar provides rigorous follow-up and control analyses to ensure environmental compliance and site safety.
Our goal is clear: remediating the land while limiting environmental impacts, for responsible and sustainable development.
- Ecological and proven methods for treating contaminated soils.
- Fast and safe interventions, on site or through excavation.
- Complete soil quality restoration according to current standards.
- Cost optimization through targeted and efficient strategies.

FAQ
When a site shows signs of contamination, prompt and properly supervised intervention is essential to protect public health, the environment and property value.
The remediation and decontamination services offered by Geostar are designed to identify the contaminants, correct the problems and restore soil quality in accordance with Ministry of the Environment standards.
Our team of experts guides every client through a structured, transparent and safe process, bringing previously unusable sites back to life.
Decontamination is required when a site shows chemical, petroleum, organic or metallic contamination, often linked to industrial or agricultural activities or to accidental spills.
It may also be required before a real estate transaction or a change of land use.
The process begins with a soil characterization to identify the nature and extent of the contamination.
Then, depending on the results, suitable solutions are applied: in situ treatment, excavation or stabilization.
Each step is followed by verification analyses to ensure compliance with environmental standards.
In situ treatment allows the soil to be cleaned up directly on site using biological or chemical processes.
Excavation, on the other hand, consists of removing the contaminated soils to treat or dispose of them at an authorized site.
The choice depends on the type of contamination, the depth affected and the site constraints.
The duration varies depending on the size of the site, the type of pollutants and the method used.
An intervention can range from a few days to several weeks, or even longer for complex sites requiring extended monitoring.
