We have a history of delivering reliable, cost- effective land remediation
Our ability to ensure safe, award winning, land remediation for some of the country's biggest operators has never faltered.
Our groundwater pump and treat service can be tailored to maximise contamination recovery, control groundwater flow to prevent migration away from a target area and to intercept migrating contaminants.
The required installation of a small treatment plant allows for service accessibility, no matter how big or small the operating site and advances in sustainable solar and wind powered equipment have made off-grid treatment a reality.
This approach can be supplemented to form a treatment barrier, with the installation of a gravel filled trench.
With the addition and recirculation of surfactant agents to flush out contaminants, this service can also be greatly accelerated, ensuring even more efficiency.
Our 20 years of land remediation, paired with this versatile approach to groundwater pump and treatment, ensures that this method is effective in treating any waterborne contaminant impact.
Blyth: Purple Haze: Petrol Plume Fluid and Vacuum Recovery
Situated in a densely populated area in the North of England, a commercial petrol filling station required immediate attention following an emergency call-out by site staff. Migrating contaminants and extremely flammable vapour were uncovered during redevelopment, endangering the site residents if left untreated.
Following a brief from on-site staff, our team designed, built and installed a network of fluid recovery pumps to tackle the danger posed by migrating contaminants. To combat the hazard posed by flammable vapours, a vapour recovery system on the site was designed, built and put to work immediately to annul the danger posed.
Over a 6-month period Geo2 protected the immediate surrounding population from harmful emissions and saved the client around £300,000. The project saw a >99% reduction in dissolved contamination and a >95% reduction in volatile hydrocarbon vapour, protecting the circa 6 homes in the area from evacuation and reducing excess lifetime cancer risk.
Keswick: Hubble, Bubble Tar from Rubble - Keswick High Pressure Gas Site Thermal Remediation
An operational natural gas pressure reduction centre in the middle of Keswick, Cumbria, discovered hydrocarbon contaminants in a tar tank. Providing gas to over 3,000 properties, and located less than 11 metres from nearby residential homes, these contaminants put the surrounding population at severe risk.
Alongside Sweco, the Geo2 team set about developing a solution to extinguish the threat discovered. By establishing a closed loop circulation system to facilitate and distribute heat transfer, the contaminants within the tank were recovered.
The regionally important site continued to operate throughout the project without hindrance. In addition, no significant impacts were felt by surrounding stakeholders, with several complimenting the project team for their attitudes and behaviours
We worked alongside long-time contractors and site operators to deliver permanent environmental betterment by the removal of hazardous substances that threatened nearby controlled waters. Our remediation is cost-effective and efficient; this case study is no exception.
