Soil and groundwater remediation is often required due to chronic releases over time or single event spills of hazardous materials. Remediation of contaminants released into the environment can include excavation and disposal of the contaminated media, on-site treatment, or a combination of these options. AKT Peerless chooses the appropriate remediation technique based on:

·         Contaminant type

·         Contaminant distribution

·         Geologic and hydro geologic features

·         Risks to human health and the environment

·         Regulatory requirements

·         Economic considerations

Choosing the proper remedial solution is essential to minimizing costs during cleanups. A feasibility study is prepared to identify the most appropriate remedial option. After completing the feasibility study, a corrective (remedial) action plan is submitted to the regulatory agency for approval. 

Generally, after the corrective action work plan is approved, the remedial system is installed, maintained, and operated to clean the contaminated area.

AKT Peerless is experienced in the following areas of soil and groundwater remediation:

·         Soil vapor extraction

·         Groundwater extraction (pumping)

·         Air-sparging

·         Activated carbon filtration

·         Excavation and disposal (at a licensed landfill)
