Integrated remedial approach achieves >99% contaminant reduction and prevents future recontamination

The Swedish rail authority required that an entirely in situ remediation strategy be implemented across the largest train maintenance depot in northern Europe, located in Hagalund, Sweden.

The contaminated area was approximately 7,500m², within which 30,000m³ contaminated soil and groundwater required treatment. As part of the remedial works, Swedish remediation contractor Envytech installed a network of additional monitoring wells across the site. This was done to better delineate the plume and identify any unknown contamination prior to commencement of remediation.
