Decontamination by excavation and pump & treat system

Project Type: 

Decontamination through excavation and groundwater treatment via Pump & Treat system including decantation, phase separation, and activated carbon water filtration. 

Conceptual Framework: 

  • Historical industrial site contaminated by gas production activity using coal and naphtha. Main contaminants: PAHs, TPHs, and BTEX; to a lesser extent, heavy metals. 

Decontamination through selective excavation: 

  • Preliminary soil characterization 
  • Determination of soil management routes 
  • Selective excavation 
  • Temporary stockpiling of soils 
  • Disposal in Class II and III landfills and stabilization processes 
  • Verification of remaining soils 
  • Backfilling with reused materials from the site 

Objective: From Brownfield to Greenfield. Remediation targets defined by ACR and SSTL. 

Key Data: 

  • Excavated area: 1,100 m² 

Excavated soil volumes: 

▪ Clean soils: 276 m³ 
▪ Class II soils: 772 m³ 
▪ Class III soils: 401 m³ 
▪ Class III + stabilization: 1,397 m³ 
▪ Total managed soils: 2,570 m³ 
▪ Total excavated soils: 2,846 m³ 
▪ C&D waste and bituminous materials: 294 m³ 

Managed tonnage: 

▪ Class II: 1,555 tons 
▪ Class III: 752 tons 
▪ Class III + stabilization: 2,224 tons 
▪ C&D waste: 350 tons 
▪ Bituminous materials: 182 tons 

Treated water volume: 891 m³
