Soil ad ground water remediation
Grontmij has gained experience for many years in orientating and descriptive soil investigations and the development of soil remediation projects. Our experts give you independent advice on the overall approach and the legal framework with regards to soil and ground water remediation. The remediation is tackled from a multidisciplinary environment, in which the various fields of expertise are all available in-house. Remediation of soil and ground water is often a complex job, involving environmental-technical aspects like geology, hydrology and soil stability. Effective remediation also requires insight into the additional conditions imposed by the future potential land use, especially in the case of brown-field developments.

Grontmij has advanced modelling software, a.o. for ground water flows and calculating risk analyses. For the actual realisation of a soil remediation project, Grontmij has extensive and practical knowledge, from delevopment of technical & administrative specifications on-site and project support. We also establish Technical Reports for the use of excavated soil.

In addition to our knowledge of remediation, our expertise in spatial planning, building techniques, water management, mobility also come in handy. With the execution of your project, we assist you to find the right partners, or we support PPP structures. As a result, with you, we give colour to ‘Black Points’.
