Contaminated Land Assessment & Remediation

Introduction

Our Experts assess the risks associated with contaminated land and develop remediation plans to mitigate those risks. They can also provide ongoing monitoring and management of contaminated sites.

Our experts develop remediation plans that are tailored to the specific site conditions and contamination types. They can also provide ongoing monitoring and management of remediated sites to ensure that contamination levels remain within acceptable limits.

Assessment:

Contaminated land assessments involve:

  • Identification
  • Characterization
  • Evaluation

The goal of a contaminated land assessment is to determine the nature and extent of contamination, assess the risks associated with the contamination, and identify appropriate remediation options.

Characterization involves collecting data about the site, such as the location, geology, hydrogeology, and soil and groundwater characteristics. This information is used to determine the nature and extent of contamination.

Evaluation involves assessing the risks associated with the contamination, such as the potential for exposure to contaminants through direct contact, inhalation, or ingestion.

Remediation

Remediation of contaminated land involves the removal, treatment, or containment of contaminants to reduce risks to human health and the environment. Remediation options include:

  • Excavation
  • In-situ treatment
  • Capping

Excavation involves removing contaminated soil or groundwater from the site and disposing of it at a licensed facility.

In-situ treatment involves treating contaminated soil or groundwater in place using chemical, physical, or biological methods. This approach is often less disruptive than excavation.

Capping involves placing a barrier, such as a layer of clean soil or impermeable material, over contaminated soil to prevent exposure to contaminants.

In conclusion, contaminated land assessment and remediation is a critical service that helps protect human health and the environment. Environmental consultancies play a vital role in identifying and assessing contaminated sites, developing remediation plans, and implementing and monitoring remediation activities.
