Soil and Groundwater Assessment, South-East England
Remediation Strategies were commissioned to asses the quality of soil and groundwater beneath a tank farm area prior to redevelopment and upgrade works to bring the area up to current standards. Works comprised window sampling, hand pits, borehole installation and associated chemical analyses. Reporting included factual and interpretative works, together with the creation of a redevelopment constraints plan.

Pollution Prevention and Contol, West Wales
Remediation Strategies were requested to develop a pneumatic barrier for a given oil spill response scenario. A pneumatic barrier uses compressed air in an underwater environment to create a vertical ‘bubble barrier’ and a standing wave at the water surface, with the purpose of containing a given spillage of oil.

Remediation Consultancy, South Wales
As part of a long term programme of environmental liability management works, a Remediation Strategy document, including a Remediation Options Appraisal, was completed for the clean up of an expanding groundwater contamination plume. Works included detailed discussions with the Regulatory Authorities and obtaining their agreement for works to proceed.

Soil and Groundwater Assessment, North-West England
Remediation Strategies were retained to undertake contamination delineation works following the accidental release of 12,000 litres of red diesel at a logistics depot. Boreholes were installed radially outwards using a variety of techniques and allowed effective lateral and vertical profiling of soil contamination, together with identification of any groundwater impact. Works were undertaken in phases to ensure full delineation of the spill had been completed.

Soil and Groundwater Assessment, Northern England
Remediation Strategies assisted in the investigation, assessment and remediation of hydrocarbon vapours at a residential property. Prior to works commencing, the property was deemed uninhabitable due to hydrocarbon vapours. Investigation works revealed low hydrocarbon contamination in soil, but a number of potential vapour pathways were noted and remediation works were undertaken to break these migration pathways. After one week, no further vapours were recorded at the property.

Pollution Prevention & Control, Northern England
Remediation Strategies were requested to provide advice and subsequently to supply a number of pollution prevention and control measures to assist an automotive manufacturer comply with their surface water discharge limits. A combination of drain identification markers, portable Draintector bladders for isolating individual drains and a full scale Draintector system installed at the site outfall were supplied to the client.
