Soilfix were contracted to carry out underground tank decommissioning followed by in-situ remediation of a dissolved phase plume impacting a surface water course
The Challenge
An historical leak from an underground fuel farm was impacting an off-site surface water course. The fuel farm was located in the center of a busy mail sorting/distribution facility that needed to remain operational all year round. The underground fuel farm had been decommissioned and replaced with above ground facilities following the incident, however, the tanks and associated lines were identified as a secondary source with significant LNAPL recorded in nearby boreholes.
Our Solution
Soilfix devised and implemented the following remediation solution:
All works were completed on programme and budget, whilst minimizing disruption to this busy operational depot. All groundwater remediation objectives met to the satisfaction of the EA within the 6-months post-completion monitoring period.
