The company
Sanexen Environmental Services inc. has been demonstrating its environmental management know-how throughout Canada since 1985, specifically in the fields of PCB management, contaminated site characterisation and remediation, risk assessment and water main rehabilitation (Aqua-Pipe®). Over the years, Sanexen has developed in-depth expertise and new technologies adapted to the needs of companies and governments faced with a variety of contamination problems.
As a specialised consultant and an entrepreneur, Sanexen offers innovative solutions to aid in conforming with environmental regulations, often using a turn key approach.
