TPM, Inc. offers a wide variety of remedial services that effectively and efficiently address the removal/reduction of soil and groundwater contamination. Being experienced in investigatory phases of remedial activities, we handle remediation needs in a turnkey fashion as a liaison with federal, state and local regulatory agencies. We also provide site investigation and contaminant characterization, preparation and implementation of work plans and reports, selection of the appropriate remedial technology and system design, installation, operation and maintenance of the remedial system up to site closure.Our remediation strategies are designed to provide cost-effective solutions while following all applicable regulations and eliminating future environmental concerns. After the site characterization is completed, the following methods are among those considered Soil Removal and Disposal (land filling) is a frequently used strategy applicable only to soil contamination. In this process, after appropriate sampling confirms soil concentrations exceeding allowable limits, the contaminated soil is excavated and hauled to an EPA approved disposal facility. An alternative to land filling would be thin spreading aeration. Soil Venting/Air Stripping is used for underground soil contamination. The volatile compounds in the soil are pulled through the vadose zone via negative pressure and vented or stripped. Bioremediation is a strategy which can be used for both soil and groundwater remediation. It is a restoration process that uses bacteria to naturally dissipate/degrade contamination in-situ or ex-situ. The costs could be less than other remediation options, allowing for on-site remediation of contaminated soils and groundwater with little or no interruption of business operations. Land Farming - Composting is used on soil contamination and may be used in association with other options such as soil venting bioremediation and natural attenuation. Thermal Desorption is a process during which the contaminated soil is removed from the subsurface and treated thermally (high heat) ex-situ. Pump and Treat is used for groundwater remediation and hydro geologic plume control. During this process, the contaminated groundwater is removed from the aquifer and is treated by density remediation technologies before being discharged back into the aquifer upgradient local surface and /or sanitary or storm sewer. TPM has incorporated the use of all of the strategies listed above and continues to explore new technology and be more affective and efficient to all our clients . |
