Automotive Industries

Decades of production can leave a complex environmental signature beneath paint shops, wash bays, maintenance areas, and storage yards.

Solvents, paints, degreasers, fuels, and oils are part of the history of many automotive plants. Underground tanks and legacy processes may have created sources that remain in soil or groundwater with no visible surface signs.

Technical Approach

Characterization moves from historical reconstruction to three-dimensional delineation of impacts. Risk assessment helps determine how significant the exposure scenarios are and guides the need for, and intensity of, intervention.

Technology and Selection Criteria

Chlorinated solvents and other organic compounds may call for chemical oxidation, thermal remediation, or combined solutions, depending on their distribution and subsurface conditions. Hydrocarbons can be treated with various recovery and remediation systems.

An industrial plant can't be read by its current process alone.

Investigate the operational legacy and turn decades of history into a technical model that can guide future decisions.
