SOIL EXCAVATION AND IN-SITU SYSTEM INSTALLATION

RENOVA was selected by Sovereign Consulting, Inc. as the key implementation contractor for remedial activities to address chlorinated solvent contamination from a former metal plating facility in South Plainfield, New Jersey. RENOVA mitigated vapor concerns by installing floor-to-ceiling poly sheeting to segregate the work area, and utilized industrial fans to create a negative airspace, circulate any accumulating vapors, and expel them outside. RENOVA provided value-engineering for the underpinning design of the load-bearing columns to support the building during the interior soil remediation. RENOVA implemented the design, and demolished and disposed of a 3,000-square foot, reinforced concrete slab. Approximately 500 tons of trichloroethene (TCE)-impacted, F-listed hazardous soil was excavated by RENOVA for both land disposal restriction (LDR) and non-LDR disposal, as determined by onsite screening by the client. Continuous air monitoring was conducted by RENOVA throughout excavation activities to identify harmful vapor accumulation and evaluate the need for a vapor-suppressing surfactant. RENOVA installed an in-situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) system, backfilled and compacted the excavation with crushed stone, and installed a vapor barrier. The remediated area was restored with concrete, allowing the active industrial-use facility operations to continue while deeper soils are remediated over time via the ISCO system.
