Process Management Services
At Groundwater Technology we construct a conceptual site model from data gathered during preliminary site investigations, including geology, hydrogeology, soil stratification, historic and present site usage, and facilities that are available on site. Conceptual models give a schematic representation of reality.
Selection of the appropriate remediation technology(s) is based on information contained within the conceptual site model. Consideration is given to source area, plume size, contaminant properties (absorption, bio-degradability etc), costs and the specifics of various remedial technologies. Taking all these into consideration allows Groundwater Technology to offer the best possible solution to the client’s soil and groundwater contamination issues, ranked for cost-effectiveness.
The chosen remediation technology is presented in the Remedial Action Plan (conforming to regulatory required standards) ready for the regulators to approve. Once all details of the remedial action plan are complete the development of a detailed technical design will begin.
Groundwater Technology will only consider a remediation project a success when the regulating authority has accepted the verification data, the project has been completed on time and within budget. Continuous monitoring during installation and implementation is a key to this success.
Our Environmental technicians supervise installation on site, monitor system performance and are triggered by anything out of the ordinary. Modern telemetry (mobile internet access, GPRS UMTS) help to reduce the number of physical site visits. We log on to our remediation systems from our offices in Rotterdam, collect stored monitoring and performance data and fine-tune the remedial systems.
All remediation projects undertaken by Groundwater Technology in The Netherlands are governed by the Dutch BRL SIKB 7000, 6000 and 2000 process certifications.
Remedial process management based on monitored data is the most essential key to our success. We monitor data to inform us on the performance of the remediation processes, such as flow, pressure, oxygen concentration etc.). All data are stored in a central database, facilitating efficient interpretation. Our experts combine information in one single overview, allowing our project managers to see at a glance if a project needs adjustments to improve and enhance the performance of each system.
