Sediment Investigation & Remediation
Environmental impacts can accumulate in the sediment of water bodies located near contaminant sources. We couple our field investigation experience with innovative laboratory testing to customize remediation solutions that address complex problems and increase project success rates.
We help you understand the transport pathways; design and test potential remediation solutions in our sediment lab; and finalize designs and execute remedies in the field. Our professionals bring experience with sediment projects of all sizes and complexity.
Using field assessments and analytical techniques, we simulate and examine complex presses in our sediment remediation lab, focusing on the alternatives that succeed. We perform physical modeling of natural and engineered systems, such as sediment caps and the migration of viscous liquids in granular media. This approach means you can be confident that your challenges are being addressed with appropriate remedial solutions.
Sediment contamination is often the result of historical operations at multiple neighboring industrial facilities. Consequently, the evaluation of responsible parties and remediation cost allocation can be a critical component of many sediment remediation projects. Our knowledge of sediment chemistry, forensic analytical techniques, and depositional patterns and groundwater-surface water interactions allows us to design and execute field and laboratory tests to evaluate challenging site‑specific questions.
