Our cleaning process cuts costs by eliminating expensive repairs, minimizing down-time and reducing the possibility of injury. Highvec is based in Timmins, Ontario, a center for the Canadian mining industry. Our cleaning process cuts costs by eliminating expensive repairs, minimizing downtime and reducing the possibility of injury. The company was launched in 1990 and, since then, has worked extensively in Ontario and Quebec. We use the highest quality equipment, some of which we have developed to fit our process. Our crew members have years of experience using and perfecting our cleaning process. Highvec has adapted its unique cleaning process to serve a variety of industries; each with their own electrical contamination problems. Highvec uses a unique cleaning blasting media of ground corn cobs, walnut shells and crushed limestone, applied with compressed air. The ground-up corncobs are non-conductive and just abrasive enough to dislodge the dirt and grime without causing damage to wiring and other components. Applying this mixture in an underground environment requires an elaborate system to make use of the mine's compressed air supply, and a custom-built dust collection system. This system seals off the area being cleaned and collects the dirt, grime and abrasive material.
