Hazardous waste

Hazardous waste management is at the heart of CURIUM's know-how and is an important aspect of every project. We develop and implement optimal waste disposal solutions.

Management of toxic, reactive, explosive, flammable, radioactive and asbestos waste, whether liquid, solid or gaseous.
On-site pre-treatment of waste to comply with the acceptance criteria of the waste treatment facilities and with transport regulations
On-site pre-treatment for risk reduction, volume optimization
Waste classification and preparation for transport (including international transport)
Development of solutions for on-site storage of hazardous waste
Radioactive waste lifecycle management (storage, radioactive decay management)
