Successful remediation of contaminated sites with HEIC

Successful use of HEIC around the world, has been instrumental in significantly improving various contaminated sites, including:

Rail maintenance facility

A highly contaminated site with Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) was stabilized using in-situ High Energy Impact Compaction (HEIC), followed by the placement of an orange geofabric barrier and a 20-inch cap of clean Virgin Excavated Natural Material (VENM) for safety and compliance.

Smelter

The site, initially covering 1,399,308ft², was contaminated with heavy metals including lead, zinc, and arsenic. It underwent in-situ compaction using High Energy Impact Compaction (HEIC) as a remediation strategy. Following treatment, the area was expanded to 1,614,578ft², capped, and repurposed for industrial use.

Defence facility

A specialised cell was constructed to contain Per-and Poly Fluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)-contaminated soils, which were compacted on-site. This containment is crucial due to the persistence, environmental prevalence, and significant health impacts of PFAS contaminants.

Industrial development

A heavily contaminated 8,611,131ft² site with ACM and heavy metals was rehabilitated using High Energy Impact Compaction (HEIC). After in-situ compaction and capping with approved materials, the site was transformed into a valuable industrial asset and sold to the client.
