AUGER MIX ISS REMEDIATION

RENOVA successfully completed an in-situ solidification/stabilization (ISS) remediation project at an industrial development site in Newark, New Jersey. This project involved stabilizing approximately 14,700 cubic yards of soil within a 12,000-square-foot treatment area to a depth of 33 feet below ground surface. Located in the epicenter of NJ’s busy trucking and shipping industry, RENOVA’s work was time-critical for the developer’s plans to convert the subject property into a large-scale logistics facility.

RENOVA developed the reagent mix design by performing a treatability study, which would balance efficacy with cost, and recommended a reagent mix of 3% Portland cement and 3% ground granulated blast furnace slag. This mix ensured that the ISS monolith would meet stringent quality standards, including addressing the targeted contaminants of petroleum hydrocarbons and SVOCs.

On site, the team began with mobilization and site preparation, delivering and assembling state-of-the-art equipment, including RENOVA’s automated batch plant and a mobile auger mixing rig. To prepare for the ISS treatment, RENOVA removed historic foundations, debris and other obstructions. The treatment phase utilized GPS-guided, precision mixing and overlapping auger passes to ensure homogenous stabilization of the soil. Excavator bucket mixing supplemented the auger mixing in select areas of the ISS footprint. Throughout the project, real-time monitoring systems controlled key parameters such as reagent volumes, column depth, and mixing consistency. Daily sampling and laboratory analysis confirmed geotechnical and environmental compliance.

Upon completion of the ISS treatment, RENOVA demobilized and restored the site, ready for subsequent development by others. This project was completed within budget, with zero safety or lost time incidents on a very busy site with multiple active contractors, demonstrating RENOVA’s commitment to delivering high-quality, cost-effective environmental remediation solutions under pressure.

RENOVA stands out in the environmental remediation industry with a robust ISS program that combines specialized expertise, proprietary equipment, and a commitment to exceptional results. Offering diverse mixing methods, tailored bench-scale studies, and a comprehensive QA/QC program, we ensure precise, scalable solutions for complex projects. With turnkey services and early-stage constructability consultations, RENOVA consistently delivers efficient, high-quality ISS implementations.
