A key element for dimensioning an environmental problem. Whenever the presence of potential contaminants is detected on a piece of land, alarms ring and it is necessary to answer some core questions: Does it imply a non-acceptable risk for humans or ecosystems? Is it necessary to take any action? Which legal matters should be considered?

Determining which chemical substances are in the subsoil. Differentiating the ones generated by human activity from natural ones. Studying how they are distributed. Foreseeing their evolution. Estimating the chances of damage. Investigation and characterization is providing answers to these questions through an exhaustive geochemical and hydrogeological study that includes indirect methods and/or drilling to take soil and water samples at different depths. This is the efficient way to obtain essential information.

Technology and ingenuity for an optimal remediation of contaminated soils. Remediation is the treatment or the combination of operations performed with the aim of recovering the previous qualities of contaminated underground (which includes both soils and the associated groundwater). A variety of technologies allows the achievement of optimal residual contamination values. Those are safe values for the health of people and environments, according to designated uses of each specific place.

Our teams undertake subsoil (soil and groundwater) investigation and characterisation to draft the baseline report required to apply for a renewal of the Environmental Authorisation. The Soil Baseline Report is a subsoil (soil and groundwater) investigation/characterisation that is developed by applying methodologies set out in the above section. The implementation of the European Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) on the integrated pollution prevention and control involves the request of new requirements from new and existing facilities included in Annex I.1 of Law 20/2009 (IPPC facilities).

We draft your disposal legalisation project by selecting the most suitable wastewater treatment system for disposal into the receiving environment. LITOCLEAN submits the project to the competent authority with the application for wastewater disposal authorization, in order that you have soon thereafter the legalisation of your disposal.
