Does Containing Contamination Help?
Sometimes, there is no easy way to treat contaminated soil. It may be cost prohibitive or technically unfeasible. In other instances, a Risk Assessment may require that contamination be isolated from potential contact with humans or ecology. In these cases, the best approach may be to render the contamination permanently immobile and inert.
What is the best option for your site remediation?
Immobilization is typically reserved for cases where other remedial technologies cannot destroy or remove contaminants within a reasonable timeline, for a reasonable cost, or due to access issues. Immobilization is also often used in conjunction with projects where an increase in soil stability is required for geotechnical reasons, as in situ soil stabilization using cement is a common method for soil stabilization, even in uncontaminated soils.
It is important to discuss all options with a qualified environmental professional to determine what remedial approach is best for your property. In many cases, alternative remedial options and Risk Assessment may significantly reduce remediation costs and speed up timelines. AEL’s team of professional engineers and geoscientists can help you to determine the best path forward to meet your goals for your property on your timeline and with your budget.
