GeoPro Talks: Use of High-Resolution Site Characterization Tools to Optimize Remediation Performance
Background/Objectives. Historically, many remediation efforts have failed due to inadequate site characterization and/or over-generalized and misleading conceptual site models. Currently, many older remedial technologies are being reassessed, optimized and in many cases, replaced by newer emerging remedial technologies or a combination of technologies. However, the redesign of these technologies does not always create a cost […]
“Remediation Now” Workshop: Soil management in BC – What now and where are we going?
Management of excess soil whether from construction or contaminated site clean-up has become a major impediment to development. The need to find better solutions that are cost effective, practical and sustainable has never been greater. In this workshop, we will define and discuss common problems and issues, and explore innovation solutions that treat excess soil […]
