Services


At Blackhorse Environmental Ltd., we take pride in delivering safe, compliant, and efficient environmental contracting services. Our expertise extends across a range of disciplines — from asbestos abatement and hazardous materials management to demolition and environmental site preparation.
Each service is delivered by a trained, certified team committed to safety, precision, and environmental responsibility.

Whether you’re a homeowner planning a renovation, a contractor preparing a redevelopment site, or a municipality managing infrastructure renewal, Blackhorse Environmental provides tailored solutions to meet your unique needs.

 

Asbestos Abatement

 

 Our certified abatement professionals are trained to manage asbestos safely and effectively under the strict guidelines of WorkSafeBC, the BC Hazardous Waste Regulation, and Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) standards. We manage every phase of the process from site setup and containment to final clearance and documentation  ensuring full regulatory compliance and client confidence.

 

Scope of Work

  • Full asbestos removal and disposal

  • Site containment setup and negative air pressure systems

  • Air monitoring and clearance testing

  • Removal of asbestos from drywall, flooring, insulation, ceiling tiles, and mechanical systems

  • Comprehensive documentation and final clearance certification

 

Asbestos Testing & Inspection

Before any demolition, renovation, or restoration project begins, it’s critical to know whether asbestos is present in your building. Many older structures across British Columbia contain asbestos in materials like drywall compound, vinyl tiles, or insulation even in homes built as late as the 1990s.

Our asbestos testing and inspection services provide the information you need to move forward safely and legally.


Comprehensive Testing Services

  • Sampling

  • Laboratory Analysis: Polarized light microscopy (PLM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM)

  • Reporting

  • Drywall joint compound, plaster, and textured coatings (popcorn ceilings)

  • Vinyl floor tiles, linoleum, and black mastic adhesives

  • Mechanical insulation, duct wrap, and boiler gaskets

  • Vermiculite attic insulation

  • Roofing materials and exterior cladding


Demolition Services

Demolition is often the first step in building something new and at Blackhorse Environmental Ltd., we ensure that step is taken safely, responsibly, and efficiently.

Our demolition division provides complete solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial structures. Whether it’s a selective interior dismantling or a full structural teardown, we combine experience, planning, and precision to ensure the job is done right.

Types of Demolition

  • Selective Demolition: Partial removal of specific building components — ideal for renovations or adaptive reuse projects.

  • Structural Demolition: Complete teardown of buildings and infrastructure, including concrete, steel, and wood structures.

  • Fire-Damaged Structure Removal: Safe demolition of compromised structures affected by fire, ensuring no hazardous exposure.

  • Site Clearing: Post-demolition debris removal and site grading, preparing land for redevelopment.


 

Environmental & Safety Integration

Safety and sustainability guide every aspect of our demolition process. We use water suppression systems to control dust, HEPA air filtration to maintain air quality, and machine-mounted shears and pulverizers to minimize noise and vibration.

Our crews are trained in confined-space entry, fall protection, and equipment operation, ensuring full compliance with WorkSafeBC and CSA standards.


Recycling & Material Management

We aim to divert as much material from landfills as possible. Concrete, steel, and wood are sorted and recycled through certified facilities. By integrating material recovery into every project, we not only reduce waste but also support the circular economy and local sustainability initiatives.
