Overview
At a former fuel dispensing facility in Toronto, historical leaks from a series of underground storage tanks and pipes resulted in the development of a groundwater plume over an area of approximately 1,000 m . Excavation was deemed to be technically challenging and cost prohibitive. Compounds of concern within the soil included:
- BTEX (concentration > 300 μg/g)
- F1 & F2 (concentration > 2,800 μg/g)
- F3 & F4 (concentration > 1,000 μg/g)
Scope of Work
- Acquired all relevant permits to complete the remediation program
- Designed and optimized an in- program to maximize treatment efficiencies
- Implemented a program that minimized capital expenditures and infrastructure
The Vertex Approach
- In-situ chemical oxidation
- Multiple applications using direct push
- Injection of chemical oxidant
- > 25,600 kg of RegenOx
- Injections completed using:
- vertical direct push points
Outcome
- Over 250,000 L of oxidant solution delivered to impacted areas
- Greater than 90% of remediated to residential standards
- No surface infrastructure required
- RegenOx solution effectively distributed throughout impacts areas as confirmed by tracer and geochemical testing
- Record of Site Condition Obtained
