Making sure unproductive or contaminated land is restored and therefore able to be used again reduces the pressure for industry to use uncontaminated land. And restoring unproductive land in the most sustainable manner practical further enhances these benefits.
In this section we describe how our specialist division has delivered this service for some our clients.
Active Manufacturing Facility in East Rutherford, USA: WSP was contracted to characterise and remediate an impacted aquifer at an active manufacturing facility in New Jersey. At the site there had been a historic release of methylene chloride from an active chemical loading area which had contaminated a stratified aquifer with concentrations exceeding 250mg/l. Read more.
Manufacturing Facility, Georgia, USA: WSP completed the investigation and characterisation of a central Georgia manufacturing facility. At this manufacturing facility, a historic release of coolant containing chlorinated solvent resulted in soil contamination, groundwater source area volatile organic compound (VOC) concentrations exceeding 50mg/l and a 400m-long VOC plume that was decreasing in both extent and concentration. Read summary.
Manufacturing Site Santa Ana, USA: WSP was retained to assess an underperforming property line groundwater treatment system in Santa Ana, California. The system involved applying amendments to stimulate native microbes to attenuate chlorinated solvent affected (that is, chlorinated volatile organic compounds, or VOCs) groundwater at a manufacturing facility.
