Reasons to place your trust in us

Séché Urgences Interventions, putting our expertise at your service.

End-to-end support

In the event of an accident, we manage the entire project from end to end, from diagnostics to waste treatment, rehabilitating the site and making it safe once more, all while maintaining optimum levels of safety and traceability. Our complete understanding of regulatory requirements enables us to assist you when dealing with public services (such as prefectures and emergency services).

Safety above all else

Our specialist expertise puts us in a position to safely manage any hazards related to handling clients’ waste. Our laboratories analyze samples and determine how waste should be conditioned and transported, as well as which are the most appropriate treatment channels. Our specialist facilities have all the necessary certifications and authorizations, and our teams are specially trained in safety and how to properly use the protective equipment they require. 

Renowned operational proficiency

We obtained certification in quality, occupational health and safety, and environment in 2015. The key to our success lies in the strength of our multiskilled experts who carry out over 100 interventions each year on a variety of sites and in all circumstances to bring any kind of risk under control (chemical, biological, pyrotechnic…), working hand in hand with public services.

The strength of a Group

Our emergency intervention teams harness the scientific expertise of the Group’s R&D center, as well as the flexibility and rapid response of its logistics assets (such as transportation, conditioning and storage) and the full range of its hazardous and non-hazardous waste treatment services.

Commitment to biodiversity

At Séché Environnement, biodiversity plays an integral role in our business model. The Group has its own team of ecologists and biodiversity ambassadors who roll out initiatives on the ground within and around our industrial facilities. Whether it is by protecting species, renaturing ecosystems, or raising awareness among stakeholders, we factor in biodiversity and take local priorities into consideration before undertaking all projects.
