PROGRESS: A Next-Generation Approach to Remediating Complex Contaminated Sites

It can be difficult to remediate what cannot be seen, which is why the subsurface — with its complex heterogeneities and interrelated systems — represents the greatest uncertainty for any remediation project. 

Speeding the Pace of Cleanup

Over many years, grain fumigant solvents leaked from a tank at an active grain elevator into the underlying soil and groundwater. Remediation would be complicated not only by the extent and nature of the contamination, but also by its difficult-to-access location. Thanks to a multipronged, innovative remediation strategy, efforts to clean up the site are drawing to a close.

Design Optimization Reduces the Cost and Uncertainty of Remediation

Groundwater extraction and treatment — or pump and treat — is making a comeback in the remediation industry, primarily due to technological advancements that focus this remedy to meet project objectives more predictably and at a significantly lower cost.

Process-Based Conceptual Site Models

Complex site remediation requires a centralized hub of site-specific information that is updated and analyzed to inform each step of the way. A process-based conceptual site model unleashes the full value of the project dataset and allows decisions to be informed by accurate representations of processes that will directly impact performance, cost and schedule.
