Site Assessment and Remediation Services
Site assessment (including site investigation, data collection, data evaluation, data communication, decision-making, etc.) is probably the most important phase of any remediation process. We have performed several environmental site assessments at major sites, so ve have a waste experience. Our specialty is mainly related to geologic and hydrogeologic aspects, and we are among the few local companies with experience in the assessment and remediation of soil and groundwater sites contaminated with chlorinated solvents. Unfortunately, the degree of such contamination in aquifers is often very high, and free phase contamination in the aquifer is generally occurring.
As compared to lighter-than-water type of contaminants, the processes governing DNAPL phase formation, migration, dissolution, partitioning, etc., make them rather difficult to deal with. DNAPL plumes form at the bottom of aquifers (on top of aquitards), and often more than one aquifer and the intermediate aquitards become contaminated. Locating a DNAPL plume is usually a matter of intuition and experience rather than a matter of measurement, because there are only signs showing their occurrence, location and extension. Dealing with the DNAPL phase itself is only part of the problems, and lack of experience may lead to erroneous conclusions that are far beyond reality. We can provide solutions for solving your problems!
One of our advantages in addition to our experience is that we are up-to-date with recent international publications, and we are members (individual and as a company) of the National Ground Water Association (NGWA) AGWSE (Association of GroundWater Scientists and Engineers).
