Unfortunately, sometimes due to a serious accident, land and the soil on it can become contaminated. When this happens it is vitally important that all the harmful chemicals that have penetrated the ground are removed, the soil is thoroughly cleaned and the land returned to its former healthy condition. A professional, experienced Land Remediation Service is one of the only people thoroughly trained to properly complete this complicated procedure. All the contaminants and pollution have to be carefully removed from the soil, groundwater, sediment and even surface water. Human and animal health has to be assessed and ecological risks determined. There are several complicated steps to land remediation and they must all be followed carefully.
Land is only classified as contaminated if three distinct issues are present, 1) A Source, 2) A Pathway and 3) A Receptor. In normal circumstances the individual or company that caused the pollution or allowed the land to become contaminated must pay to have it put right. There are risks associated with living on land that has previously been contaminated and not cleaned properly. There is a possibility that the contaminates will cause a fire or even explode!
A professional expert who is fully licensed to carry out Land Remediation Services will understand how the complicated procedure of Chemical Oxidation converts any contaminated soil into a non-hazardous particle. The soil stabilisation procedure involves adding immobilising agents that will reduce the leachability of the contaminant.
