Our Role
Following regulatory approval of the remediation strategy, Ayesa was contracted to carry out the remediation works, which commenced in January 2019. This included the drilling of 355 remediation wells and a further 12 groundwater verification monitoring boreholes. On completion of the drilling works, Dual Phase Vapour Extraction was undertaken to remove 84,000L of groundwater and volatile / semi-volatile organic compounds from the remediation wells. The extracted organic compounds were treated with a GAC filter system and the liquids disposed of off-site. Extraction was carried out over a 9-week period after which 800 doses of Chemox solution were injected into the remediation wells. Verification of the remediation works comprised baseline and post-completion groundwater monitoring, and the calculation of source mass removal through groundwater/vapour extraction and chemical destruction by Chemox. The remediation works resulted in the betterment of the groundwater conditions. The period from commencing installation of 355 remedial wells to gain regulatory sign off was only 17.5 weeks.
