Remedial Design & Implementation

From Investigation to Cleanup

Remediation projects begin with thorough understanding of contamination extent, site conditions, and cleanup objectives. Following environmental investigations, we evaluate feasible cleanup alternatives considering effectiveness, implementability, cost, and timeframe. Our remedial designs balance technical performance with practical considerations to deliver solutions that work in real-world conditions while meeting regulatory standards.

​

Remedial Technology Selection

Different contamination scenarios require different cleanup approaches. We evaluate and implement proven remediation technologies appropriate for site conditions:

• Soil excavation and off-site disposal for localized contamination

• Soil vapor extraction for volatile organic compounds in vadose zone

• In-situ chemical oxidation for rapid treatment of organic contaminants

• Enhanced bioremediation using nutrients or bioaugmentation

• Groundwater pump-and-treat systems for dissolved plume management

• Air sparging and biosparging for groundwater remediation

• Monitored natural attenuation where site conditions support passive cleanup

• Multi-phase extraction for combined soil and groundwater treatment

Our approach: We select remediation technologies based on contaminant type, geology, depth to groundwater, regulatory requirements, site access, and budget considerations. Every project receives a customized solution designed for optimal performance.

 

Remedial Design Services

Comprehensive remedial designs provide the roadmap for successful cleanup implementation. Our design services include site characterization refinement, remedial alternative evaluation, technology-specific design calculations, equipment specifications, construction drawings, health and safety plans, quality assurance project plans, and regulatory approval documentation. We prepare designs that contractors can effectively implement and regulatory agencies can confidently approve.

 

Remediation Implementation and Oversight

Successful remediation requires experienced oversight to ensure proper installation, operation, and performance verification. We manage all aspects of remediation implementation including contractor selection, construction oversight, system startup and optimization, performance monitoring, and regulatory reporting. Our hands-on approach identifies and resolves field challenges quickly to keep projects on schedule and within budget.

 

Performance Monitoring and Optimization

Active remediation systems require ongoing monitoring to verify effectiveness and optimize performance. We conduct regular inspections, collect and analyze monitoring data, evaluate cleanup progress, and adjust system operations as needed to maximize contaminant removal. Our monitoring programs document progress toward cleanup goals and provide the data needed to demonstrate regulatory compliance and support closure applications.

 

Achieving Regulatory Closure

The ultimate goal of remediation is achieving regulatory closure and eliminating environmental liability. We work with the New Mexico Environment Department and EPA throughout the remediation process, prepare closure documentation, and negotiate final resolution of contamination issues. Our experience with regulatory closure processes helps clients successfully complete remediation projects and move forward without lingering environmental concerns.
