Soil and Groundwater Remediation

EnSafe has successfully managed numerous remediation projects , including many RCRA Corrective Action sites and state and federal Superfund sites , to closure by combining sound technical approaches and execution with effective strategies and communication.

 

It's one thing to have the ability to design, build, and operate a remedy, it's quite another to convince decision-makers a much less costly site management approach will protect human health and the environment.

 

EnSafe is providing design and management services for remedial design/remedial action projects throughout the country and internationally. EnSafe's engineers and scientists design and implement remedial strategies for all types of contaminants at sites that range from simple to complex.

 

Our Remediation Technologies Expertise

  • Soil-vapor extraction systems to remediate soil impacted by volatile organic compounds (VOCs), acetone, chlorinated solvents, and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs);
  • Innovative groundwater containment systems, including interceptor trenches, slurry, sparging, and reactive media walls for chlorinated solvents, phenols, and petroleum, oil, and lubricants (POLs), toxic metals and perchlorate;
  • Bioremediation systems to treat not only classic targets like POLs and fuels, but also perchlorate, and recalcitrant compounds such as pentachlorophenol (PCP);
  • Groundwater treatment systems, including air stripping and carbon adsorption for chlorinated solvents and physical chemical treatment for groundwater impacted by metals;
  • Low-temperature thermal desorption for disposal of soil containing POLs, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and
  • polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs);
  • Soil stabilization and solidification for soil impacted by lead;
  • Excavation and disposal for soil containing low concentrations of hazardous constituents, including metals, pesticides, POLs, solvents, and PCBs;
  • Capping of abandoned and closed hazardous and solid waste landfills;
  • Monitored Natural Attenuation to address petroleum and organic solvent groundwater contamination that did not pose an imminent threat to human health or the environment;
  • Aerobic-Anaerobic Sequencing system to remediate chlorinated solvents in groundwater;
  • In situ heating of soil and groundwater for VOCs;
  • Phytoremediation using poplar trees to remediate VOCs in groundwater;
  • Ex situ anaerobic system to treat extracted groundwater contaminated with perchlorate prior to discharge to the surface;
  • for treatment of soil impacted by chlorinated solvents; and
  • High-vacuum multi-phase extraction to treat soil containing petroleum and chlorinated hydrocarbons.
