International Soil & Groundwater Remediation

Good news is that compared to USA domestic remediation, international opportunities to destroy hazardous chemicals & substances in soil & groundwater are rapidly increasing. Bad news is that international remediation projects pose unique communication, local regulation, and infrastructure support problems. Communication problems can be reduced via “hands-on” “face-to-face” training before going into the field. Cell phone conversations, text messaging, global positioning, and digital images from the field can help to identify unforeseen field remediation problems. Teaming with a local engineering & environmental consulting company is essential to expediting regulatory approval & compliance plus helping to identify local remediation infrastructure support resources. To expand our available pool of resources and technology capabilities for remediation projects on five continents, a strategic alliance of “Remediation Partners” has been developed. Each Remediation Partner provides additional unique patented or proprietary technologies for our toolbox of international technology solutions. Each Remediation Partner understands that there is no single “silver bullet” when it comes to remediation strategies. Optimal soil and groundwater treatment can be achieved by bundling complementary technologies. Use of innovative site investigation, reagent propagation, source area toxicity reduction via chemical oxidation followed by bioremediation polishing is an effective example of technology bundling. An innovative engineering control system has been developed to optimize the process of destroying contaminants in soil & groundwater. This engineering control system can be continuously optimized using an innovative web-based software information package that provides via the information superhighway three-dimensional images of real time data, which is readily accessible in the field.
