Contaminated Site Investigation

What is Contaminated Site Investigation?

is the process of identifying, assessing, and characterizing the extent and nature of contamination at a particular location.

The investigation typically begins with a site assessment, which involves a review of historical records, site visits, and interviews with people who may have knowledge about the site’s past uses and potential sources of contamination. This initial assessment can help to identify areas of concern and guide the selection of appropriate sampling and analysis methods.

 This information is then used to develop a conceptual model of the site, which helps to explain how the contamination is moving through the soil or groundwater and how it may continue to behave in the future.

AMD

Acid Mine Drainage

AMD is a significant environmental problem that can occur when metal sulfide minerals, such as pyrite, are exposed to air and water. This reaction produces sulfuric acid, which can leach heavy metals and other contaminants from the surrounding rock and soil, contaminating nearby water bodies.

PLG

Profiles Landslip Geometry

The geometry of a landslip refers to the shape and characteristics of the landslide mass, including its dimensions, orientation, and surface features. Profiles of landslip geometry can provide valuable information about the nature and behavior of a landslide, as well as its potential impacts on infrastructure, property, and people

UST

Detection Underground Storage Tank

Underground storage tanks (USTs) are commonly used to store petroleum products and other hazardous substances, such as chemicals or industrial waste. However, if USTs are not properly maintained, they can leak or spill, causing serious environmental and health risks. Detecting USTs and their potential leaks is an important part of preventing and mitigating these risks.

Leachate

Define Landfill Sites & Leachate Contamination

Leachate contamination occurs when the leachate from a landfill seeps into the surrounding soil and groundwater, carrying with it a range of potentially harmful substances, including heavy metals, organic compounds, and pathogens.
