FRAC WATER MANAGEMENT
Fracking technology brought the need to manage the storage and disposal of saline fluid generated during fracking operations.

HESL frac water management provides seamless day-to-day operations, while ensuring zero impacts to the environment thanks to educating and training operators and trucking companies.
WILDLIFE ENCOUNTER PROTECTION/PREVENTION
Working in remote areas, it can be a challenge to minimize wildlife and human conflicts, especially where clients restrict the use of firearms on their worksites. Highmark Environmental Services Ltd. offers wildlife encounter protection/prevention safety services , with fully qualified/certified personnel. We work closely with the BC Ministry of Environment Conservation Officer branch to minimize these encounters.
UAV (DRONE) PHOTOGRAMMETRY SERVICES
This service responds to a budding industry in site imaging, spatial and volumetric measurements, and interactive 3D imagery. Precise spatial and volumetric measurements allow for very fine values when estimating sump volumes, impacted area dimensions, or gravel pile volumes. Fine measurements lead to better planning, which results in time and cost savings.
LINE LOCATING
Highmark Environmental Services Ltd. offers line locating as a standalone or multidisciplinary service. The latter provides cost savings by performing multiple jobs during the same site visit (i.e., spill management, line locating, drilling, in one package). Our technicians are fully qualified. HESL is a member of the Canadian Association of Pipeline and Utility Locating Contractors (CAPULC).
WILDLIFE DETERRENT PRODUCTS AND INSTALLATION
Birds and wildlife may come in contact with potentially harmful substances generated in upstream oil and gas operations. Wildlife deterrents can help avoid such contact. Highmark Environmental Services Ltd. installs a variety of wildlife/bird deterrents, such as Zon canons, netting, flagging, effigies, etc. These deterrents have been installed on a variety of applications, including frac water ponds, C-Rings, drilling waste sumps, spill restoration projects, etc.
