- SPILL RESPONSE, CONTAINMENT & SORBENTS
New Pig – PIG Universal Absorbent Mats
These polypropylene absorbent pads and rolls soak up oils, coolants, water and many common solvents. They’re used for day-to-day leaks around loading docks, maintenance shops and plant floors, and also as first-line response in truck or equipment spills. Mats are engineered to wick quickly and hold liquid without falling apart, which is important when crews are working in hot, dusty North Texas conditions.

New Pig – PIG Oil-Only Absorbent Mats
Oil-only mats float and selectively absorb oils and fuels while shedding water. These are used on retention ponds, drainage ditches, and surface water inlets when diesel, hydraulic oil or lube oil is released during storms or equipment failures. They’re useful during flash-flood events typical of North Texas, where you may need to pull free product off water quickly.

New Pig – PIG Universal Absorbent Socks
Flexible tube-style socks are wrapped around machinery or around the edge of a spill to keep liquids from spreading. Universal versions absorb oils, coolants and water-based liquids; UV-resistant models are used outdoors around transformers and equipment pads. In North Texas yards and laydown areas, these are common for controlling small releases before they migrate to storm drains.

New Pig – Spill Kits (Universal, Oil-Only, HazMat)
Kits combine pads, socks, loose absorbent and disposal bags in labeled containers. For environmental restoration work, oil-only kits in salvage overpack drums and universal kits in wheeled carts or buckets allow rapid deployment on roadways and at industrial sites after accidents.

Oil-Dri – Granular Clay Absorbent
Oil-Dri montmorillonite clay granules are poured on spills, allowed to absorb, then swept up. They work on oil, fuel and water-based liquids and are often spread over larger stained areas on shop yards and service station pads. Their granular structure gives good traction on slick concrete or asphalt, which helps reduce slip hazards after a release.

These sorbents and kits form the backbone of first-response containment in North Texas – highways, rail sidings, tank farms and maintenance yards will typically be stocked with a combination of mats, socks, loose absorbent and pre-packed kits so crews can respond before material reaches soils or waterways.

Dri-Eaz – LGR 5000 Dehumidifier
This industrial low-grain refrigerant (LGR) dehumidifier is designed specifically for restoration. It offers high moisture removal capacity, rugged construction and a telescoping handle for jobsite mobility. After floods or fire-fighting water in North Texas commercial or institutional buildings, these units are combined with air movers to pull moisture out of structural materials and prevent secondary mold growth.

Dri-Eaz – Revolution LGR Dehumidifier
The Revolution LGR packs LGR technology into a compact cabinet that fits in tight spaces – crawlspaces, mechanical rooms and small offices. It’s widely used on residential and light commercial jobs, which is common in mixed-use North Texas properties where you might be restoring suites while occupants remain in adjacent spaces.
Product example:

Together, HEPA air scrubbers and LGR dehumidifiers form the core of “drying plus air cleaning” setups used after storm events, plumbing failures and sprinkler discharges across the region.
- SOIL, GROUNDWATER & CHEMICAL IMPACT RESTORATION
Calgon Carbon – FILTRASORB Granular Activated Carbon
Calgon Carbon’s FILTRASORB line is widely used for groundwater and wastewater treatment, including removal of dissolved organics and PFAS compounds. FILTRASORB 400 is a coal-based granular activated carbon used in fixed-bed adsorption systems to polish contaminated water streams before discharge or reinjection. Calgon also provides turnkey vessels and reactivation services, allowing spent carbon to be thermally regenerated while destroying adsorbed contaminants. This is relevant for North Texas industrial sites and municipal projects dealing with solvent plumes or PFAS-impacted wells.

EnviroZyme – Bioremediation Products
EnviroZyme formulates microbial blends for biological treatment of petroleum hydrocarbons and industrial wastes. Products like BioRemove HC and specialized bacteria concentrates are used to accelerate degradation of diesel-range organics and longer-chain hydrocarbons in soils, refinery sludge and contaminated water. On North Texas pipeline rights-of-way, tank batteries and rail spurs, these products are applied (under engineered plans) to enhance natural attenuation of oil-impacted soils.

These technologies (activated carbon adsorption plus bioaugmentation) are often combined with excavation, solidification or soil mixing, depending on regulatory requirements and the specific contaminant mix.
- EROSION CONTROL, FLOOD & HABITAT STABILIZATION
Western Green – RollMax EroNet S75 Erosion Control Blanket
The S75 blanket is a temporary straw erosion control blanket with a single photodegradable net, designed to provide up to about 12 months of erosion protection as vegetation establishes. It’s commonly used on moderate slopes and low-flow channels, and in North Texas it’s frequently specified for post-remediation grading on blackland clay slopes and drainage swales. The straw matrix provides mulch and protects seed, while the netting keeps material anchored until plants take over.

Propex – Landlok Turf Reinforcement Mats (TRMs)
Landlok TRMs are long-term, synthetic turf reinforcement mats that stabilize steep slopes and channels. They are made from UV-resistant polypropylene with a three-dimensional structure that reinforces roots and stems, delivering design lives of up to 10 years. These are used on Texas highway embankments, drainage channels and detention ponds where higher hydraulic forces threaten to scour vegetation.

Aqua-Barrier – Water-Inflated Cofferdams
Aqua-Barrier cofferdams are temporary, water-filled barriers used for flood protection and in-water construction. They’re available in multiple heights, designed to manage several feet of water and sediment depth. In North Texas, they are used around low-water crossings, bridge piers and creek work areas to keep flows out of excavation or remedial zones, and can also be staged as portable flood barriers for facilities in flood-prone corridors.
Product overview:

These erosion and water-control materials are essential after remediation and grading work, ensuring disturbed soils don’t wash away in the intense storm events common to the region and that downstream water quality is protected.
- INDUSTRIAL-GRADE CLEANING, DEGREASERS & DISINFECTANTS
Zep – Industrial Purple Cleaner and Degreaser
Industrial Purple is a concentrated, heavy-duty alkaline degreaser formulated to cut heavy grease and oil on machinery, shop floors, construction equipment and other hard surfaces. It’s low-foaming and rinses easily, making it suitable for use with auto-scrubbers and pressure washers in warehouses, vehicle maintenance bays and industrial plants. Because it is corrosive, it must be used strictly in accordance with the product label and SDS, with appropriate PPE.

Simple Green – Pro HD Heavy-Duty Cleaner & Degreaser
Pro HD is a professional-grade, non-corrosive cleaner and degreaser that breaks down tough grease and grime on metal, plastic, sealed wood and many painted surfaces. It’s often chosen where a high-performance but less aggressive cleaner is appropriate, such as cleaning walls, equipment housings, and lightly contaminated concrete after minor spills. Being non-corrosive to metals and plastics makes it flexible on mixed-material assets.
