Soil remediation

The risk of soil contamination can potentially reduce the asset value of land. By isolating and quantifying such latent risks, it possible to prevent and to control such risks prudently. GES environmental experts can assess and provide effective soil remediation schemes that are designed to comprehensively minimize the risk of liability for land and groundwater contaminations.

GES's experts have carefully designed the soil remediation techniques based on the nature of soil and extent of contamination. Techniques vary depending on whether the sanitation relates to soil, groundwater, or air in the soil, or a combination of all such features. Treatment methods also depend on the soil contaminants level, soil susceptibility and its reuse class including urbanization or industrialization. The tendency is to keep soil remediation obligations realistic and pragmatic, in view of the applying the most cost-effective solutions.

Polluted land is mostly contaminated by heavy metals, cyanides, mineral oils, aromatics, pesticides, chlorinated solvents, hydrocarbons, or by other combined pollutants.

In GES, the soil remediation is mainly carried out by two techniques as:

A. Biological treatment or Bioremediation »

B. A combination of Biological and Physico-chemical treatment »
