SITE DIAGNOSTICS & CONFIDENT SOLUTIONS


The remediation industry has made great advances via the development of a wide range of in-situ treatment technologies.


In situ remediation techniques require contact with the pollutants to destroy and degrade the pollutant mass; the proper and successful application of these techniques requires a holistic understanding of the geological, hydrogeological, geochemical and biological properties of the subsurface. This understanding is employed to design and optimise remediation works and develop lines of evidence for benchmarking the success of the remediation programme.


Site diagnostics includes the following approaches:


ƒƒ Use of the latest geophysical and field analytical tools to map heterogeneous geological strata and characterize contaminant plumes.


ƒƒ Use of “bio-traps” to gather in-situ data on the microbiological activity present within the subsurface and the inherent capacity of the natural systems to degrade pollutants.


ƒƒ Use of analytical techniques, developed by the pharmaceutical industry, to characterise the bacterial populations (including DNA, RNA, protein, and lipid analysis) and track degradation pathways.


Site diagnostics provides stakeholders with the confidence to take remediation projects forward, increasing the potential for success and ensuring cost effective guaranteed fixed price remediation solutions.
