Clean Harbors has reported strong second-quarter results which were bolstered by spill response operations in the Gulf of Mexico.

During the period, revenues more than doubled to $471.6 million, while income stood at $71.9 million, from $16.4 million the second quarter of 2009.

Clean Harbors, a provider of environmental, energy and industrial services and hazardous waste management services throughout North America, also used its earnings report to announce that it is building a $25 million training facility in Alberta, Canada.

Commenting on the new training and maintenance centre, Alan S McKim, chairman and chief executive officer of Clean Harbors, told investors: "We are excited about the potential for this integrated facility, which will become the company's northernmost service location in Alberta and provide us with a greater presence in this attractive market.
