3rd Annual Remediation Now: Contaminated Sites Management Now & Tomorrow; Canadian & International Updates from Practitioners & Government Agencies
Mark your calendars now for the 3rd Annual Remediation Now Workshop on October 29, 2025 in person in downtown Vancouver BC and virtually! The team at GeoEnviroPro will bring together relevant and engaging technical and regulatory updates from multiple perspectives including government agencies (e.g., BC ENV, DFO, etc.), leading Canadian practitioners, and leading international experts […]
GeoPro Talks: Remote Controlled InSitu BioRemediation
In-Situ Bio-Remediation was completed following a fuel spill at a fuel bulk plant in Alberta. In collaboration with Clear Site Remediation, Langan trialed the deployment of a remote control remediation system entirely contained within a shipping container which can be operated and monitored remotely. Realtime water quality data from sondes deployed within the remediation zone […]
GeoPro Talks: Optimizing Remediation Portfolios using Decision Science and Project Management
Dan and Tim will introduce decision science tools and frameworks and use case studies to illustrate how adoption of decision science tools combined with project management processes can be employed to optimize remediation portfolios. Case studies will illustrate how teams can shape projects and portfolios that achieve multiple owner, regulator, stakeholder and rights holder objectives, […]
GeoPro Talks: Adopting Digital Tools for Sustainable Remediation
Contaminated sites present unique challenges that require tailored approaches to investigation and remediation. Conceptual site models are conventionally based on snapshots of site conditions, but understanding how contaminant distributions evolve in the subsurface can provide deeper insights. Digital tools based on fundamental physical transport and biodegradation reactions can enhance these models and support decision-making. This […]
GeoPro Talks: Cost Recovery Claims under BC’s Environmental Management Act – A Legal Update
This presentation, led by environmental lawyers, will provide a legal update on BC’s cost recovery claim under the Environmental Management Act. The session will focus on two key aspects of BC’s cost recovery claim – who can bring such claims and the types of costs that are recoverable. Recent case law will be discussed, as […]
GeoPro Talks: Remediation of Chemetron Lagoon: Overcoming Challenges in Hazardous Waste Management
The Chemetron Lagoon (CL) project focused on the remediation of a former industrial site contaminated with hazardous materials, including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The project successfully excavated and solidified PCB-contaminated sludge, and upon completion, the site will be transformed into parkland, offering social and economic benefits to the residents of Port Hope.
GeoPro Talks: The Power and Benefits of Using Hydrogeological Conceptual Site Models at Contaminated Sites
Hydrogeological conceptual site models (CSMs) adapted to the environmental field are often not used or are underutilized when completing contaminated site investigation and remediation work. CSMs can be an effective tool even in the earliest stages of a contaminated sites investigation when no intrusive geologic, hydrogeologic, or chemistry data has been collected. If used at […]
GeoPro Talks: Murphy’s Inference – When Excavations Look Nothing Like the Cross Section
Come join us this Wednesday November 6 for a classic talk and discussion on the conceptual model versus reality. GeoEnviroPro’s Pete Craig walks us through the Do’s and Don’t’s of site characterization and remediation from a contractor’s perspective. This Talk was originally recorded in 2017 , but remains as relevant today as it did then. […]
GeoPro Talks: Revolutionizing Soil Analysis: Harnessing Artificial Intelligence in Site Characterization Technology
Petroleum hydrocarbons and chlorides, often resulting from spills and other industrial activities, present significant challenges to both ecological systems and human health. Traditional methods for field evaluation of these contaminants can be fraught with challenges, including human error, environmental variability, and calibration issues. Due to this, making reliable field-level decisions can be an uncertain, complex […]
“2nd Annual Remediation Now Workshop – The Future of Active & Risk-Based Remediation at Contaminated Sites
The team of environmental experts at GeoEnviroPro invite you to join our annual one-day Remediation Now Workshop. The workshop will explore the leading edge of active and risk-based site investigation and remediation, the contrasting approaches observed among provinces in Canada, emerging contaminants, and other challenges and opportunities. Why you should attend: This workshop will prioritize engaging and relevant content for young professionals, consultants, government, […]
