Soil and Groundwater Remediation


Excavation and landfill disposal of contaminated soil remains one of the industry’s most widely utilized remedial measures. OP-TECH has extensive experience with remediating large volumes of contaminated soil from complex sites.  OP-TECH has performed hundreds of soil excavation projects at site locations ranging from congested, residential areas to large industrial facilities.  OP-TECH chemists routinely perform the sampling, analysis, waste characterization and profiling associated with these projects to insure regulatory compliance.  OP-TECH has experience in the remediation of various petroleum products, chemicals, food products, wood treatment materials, PCBs, and heavy metals as well as many other contaminants.  OP-TECH also has significant experience implementing temporary odor control measures such as foams, enclosures and structures equipped with air cleaning equipment to contain and treat fugitive emissions such as dust, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs). 


OP-TECH also has significant experience performing projects requiring the excavation, identification and characterization of buried drums, cylinders and other unknown materials. In these cases, OP-TECH routinely utilizes “surgical” excavation techniques to excavate drums from challenging environments.  OP-TECH provides complete containerized waste management services including screening, sampling, profiling, manifesting, transportation and disposal of both hazardous and non-hazardous waste.  

The remediation goals for contaminated sites are often driven by groundwater regulatory standards.  The management of impacted groundwater during a remediation project frequently is a limiting factor in the timely completion of remedial activities. 

 

OP-TECH maintains a large fleet of water management equipment consisting of specialized pumps, tanks, treatment equipment and bulk transport equipment ranging from 2800 gallons to over 9000 gallons in capacity.  This equipment and the skills to properly operate it, minimizes delays associated with the management and control of contaminated groundwater during remediation.
