Decontamination of the Local Water Table by Pump

In a large city in Quebec, a property was sold which resided on a major traffic route. The parking lot of said property had once been the location of a service station, and the buyer requested that all environmental liability de removed.

Although the underground petroleum reservoirs had already been removed and the surrounding soil replaced, our underground water analysis demonstrated the presence of petroleum hydrocarbon contaminants in the water table during a environmental site evaluation.

Avizo Consulting used the same wells which had been set up for the environmental site evaluation and, with a submersible pump, created a contaminated water recuperation system. Pumps we operational day and night matching the water table refill rate.

Water which was removed from the ground was temporarily stored in a tank, analyzed and disposed of according to current regulation.

Since the active source of contamination had already been removed, the quality of water improved as the residual contaminated water was removed and replaced with new water.
