It\u2019s a background that touches nearly every aspect of emergency response and management \u2014like our Chemical Emergency services. \u201cFor starters,\u201d Carrasco notes, \u201cAmbipar is the only company in America that responds to all chemical classes, from One to Nine, and every transportation mode: Rail, highway, pipe, water and air.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That said, breadth of services means nothing without depth, which is why Carrasco is quick to point-out Ambipar Response\u2019s company-wide commitment to professional excellence. \u201cIn 2005, we made the decision to adopt American regulations as our standard \u2014 including all relevant OSHA and NFPA emergency response standards. That decision led to three years of employee training and certification. Today, every field employee takes yearly refresher courses to keep their certifications updated.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clearly, Carrasco takes pride in the quality of the people Ambipar deploys whenever we\u2019re called-on for chemical emergency response. Professionals who are supported by painstakingly detailed planning: \u201cWe not only have proven procedures for nearly any imaginable situation, but specific logistics plans for every area of the country, and every season of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJust as importantly, our field teams are supported remotely by top crisis response experts, who work together as a team in Ambipar Response\u2019s version of a War Room. Which means our field teams can count on absolute expert support, regardless of the situation. What\u2019s more, the physical distance between the central crisis room and emergency sites gives our field pros the luxury of cooler heads looking over their shoulders \u2014 when, very often, the people around them are anything but calm and collected.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nIn situations requiring actual physical oversight, Ambipar Response\u2019s crisis room can be remotely connected to on-site drone cameras \u2014 providing invaluable live overhead footage to further assess situations and formulate plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnother critical benefit of working with Ambipar,\u201d Carrasco says, \u201cis our nationwide presence. With twelve companies in North America, we\u2019re strategically situated to quickly serve clients virtually anywhere, coast-to-coast. Other companies offering nationwide services typically use subcontractors. We weren\u2019t interested in that kind of arrangement, because you can\u2019t guarantee consistency of quality across every service you offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll of which is why we\u2019ve been so diligent in the selection of each company we\u2019ve acquired. We\u2019ve bought quality companies who share our own culture and values, and we\u2019ve offered our support and resources in helping them achieve their own goals for growing and improving.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nOne step further. And then another.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to emergency response, Ambipar Response offers removal services for everything from gas to liquids and solids, on land or sea \u2014 including deep water. Moreover, in keeping with the company\u2019s long-held commitment to sustainability, Ambipar\u2019s operations encompass the entire waste-chain spectrum \u2014 with solutions that include recycling, blending, co-processing, autoclaving, incineration and final disposal of solid, liquid and sludge waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFor instance,\u201d Carrasco offers as an example, \u201csoil conntaminated with petroleum can be used for fuel at cement plants. The combustion process produces ash, and that can be mixed with cement to make bricks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s all part of our vision for an increasingly circular economy. We are genuinely dedicated to making the world a better place,\u201d he concludes. \u201cIt\u2019s not just good business. It\u2019s good sense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/ambipar.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Jorge-Carrasco-700x667.jpeg\")
