Key Projects

Green-Port has been an active and trusted contractor managing the recycling and disposal of obsolete equipment and transformers, as well as providing many other valuable services in Ontario and across Canada.

• PCB disposal and PCB site decommissioning
• Non-PCB transformer substation decommissioning
• Recycling of < 50 ppm PCB oil-filled transformers and other obsolete equipment
• Recycling of obsolete analog and digital electric meters
• Emergency response service for leaking non PCB and PCB transformers
• Consulting on as needed basis for transformer site services

Green-Port also provides services for the draining, transport and disposal of the PCB oil and the retro-filling the transformer with recycled non-PCB transformer oil.  After 90 days under potential, GPE tests the oil for PCB level (<50 ppm) so that the transformer can be reclassified as a non-PCB transformer as opposed to being recycled.

Green-Port was retained to manage a turnkey project at the request of its client to decommission scrap non-PCB oil-filled transformers and switchgear at a former substation property in Ontario, and turn it into industrial land suitable for future development.

• The <50 ppm scrap network transformer was drained on site and the scrap transformer oil was fully recycled
• The obsolete transformer, switchgear and tower were removed for recycling at Green-Port’s approved facility in Georgetown, Ontario
• The building was demolished and the surface soil was tested to depth for contaminants, including PCBs
• The contaminated soil was excavated and disposed of, and the excavated area backfilled with compacted clean fill

Green-Port recycled obsolete PCB contaminated underground lead cable on site in southern Ontario over a two year period under its MOE Certificates of Approval.
