Dokka Entreprenør used “SoilSaver” this summer to steam soil and eradicate invasive plants, allowing the soil to be reused instead of being sent to landfill. This method was chosen for a road project to reduce the need for transportation and CO₂ emissions. The SoilSaver machine can treat up to 20 tons of soil per hour, and 4000 tons were “saved” from disposal.

SoilSteam and Dokka Entreprenør plan to use this technology in more projects in the future. Standard Norway has also established a committee to develop a standard for thermal soil treatment, which is expected to be completed in 2025.
