Remediation of discontinued sites


There are special technologies, such as the Deep LandFarming ®, which are absolutely preferable at discontinued sites.

Mail aspect

  • Presence of large areas to be treated
  • Presence of significant volumes of soil
  • Soil handling (logistical problems)
  • Economic and environmental sustainability considerations

In the remediation of discontinued sites other types of remediation.can be taken. These are studied in the design phase according to the type of contamination found and the peculiarities of the site.

Below are some examples and applications.


Example 1: Province of Venice. Agricultural area contaminated by oil release from pipeline

  • Maximum TPH concentration: 1.500 mg / kg
  • Remediation target: Column A, Table 1, Annex 5, Title V, Part IV of Legislative Decree 152/06
  • Remediation’s duration: 4 months

 

Example 2: Modena, former hydrocarbons deposit (urban area)
