Development of Technical Remediation Solutions: Strategy and Engineering
After characterizing the contamination and assessing the risks, the next step is to define “how” to solve the problem. There is no single solution for the decontamination of soil and groundwater. ETP acts in the transition between diagnosis and construction, designing remediation engineering projects that balance maximum environmental effectiveness with economic viability and client deadlines.
Our Engineering and Selection Process
We develop custom projectscustom-madeevaluating the geological context, the type of contaminant, and the logistical constraints of the installation.
1. Technical and Economic Feasibility Study
We analyzed different scenarios and applicable technologies for the problem (e.g.: in situ versus. ex situWe ponder factors such as the required execution time, the overall implementation cost, and the expected effectiveness in achieving remediation goals.
2. Pilot Studies and Treatability Tests
To ensure the success of large-scale interventions, we frequently conduct laboratory tests or pilot trials on-site (e.g., vapor injection or extraction tests). These trials allow for the fine-tuning of engineering parameters, such as radii of influence and flow rates, thereby minimizing uncertainties in the final design.
3. Remediation Action Plan
Detailed engineering design. This technical document includes equipment sizing, the treatment network layout (extraction/injection wells), material specifications, and the work schedule.
4. Procurement Technological
We support the client during the contracting phase by selecting the most suitable technologies and suppliers in the market, ensuring independence and exclusive focus on results.
Strategic Vision and Sustainability
Our approach always prioritizes, whenever possible, sustainable technologies that cause the least possible disruption to the client's normal operations and have a reduced carbon footprint.
