Excavation
Relevant Contaminants:
All Soil Bound Contaminants
Remedial Objective:
Removal
Excavation of contaminated soil is a remedial process designed
to physically remove the contaminant source and source materials
from the subsurface.
Using construction equipment such as a backhoe, the contaminated
material is removed from the ground such that it can be treated
or disposed of at a licensed landfill. Depending on the nature
of the contaminant, the material removed can be treated on site
and replaced, treated off site and used as fill elsewhere, or disposed
of at a landfill which can specifically handle the contaminant
in question.
Although considered a basic remediation tool, Nichols Environmental
has shown that the excavation of contaminated material is an efficient
and cost effective method for the clean up of a contaminated site.
Nichols Environmental’s role in such a project entails the
tendering, contract award, direction and supervision of construction
crews for the removal of the contaminated soil such that the material
which remains,
meets
or
exceeds local guidelines and regulations.
Nichols Environmental has been involved with numerous excavations,
and have shown success in the remediation of all sites.
