Remediation of Asbestos in Soil

IEG Technologies UK Ltd provides a one stop shop management service designed to remove the health & safety and commercial risks associated with the presence of asbestos-containing building materials on brownfield development sites.

Asbestos contamination on such sites may have resulted from asbestos product manufacturing, licensed waste disposal acitivites, or from the inadvertent or deliberate mixing of asbestos waste with soil and demolition rubble. Whilst the treatment of land contaminated with such asbestos-containing materials, including asbestos insulation, asbestos coatings, asbestos insulating board and asbestos cement is not covered by an Approved Code of Practice, health & safety, as well as waste management, legislation and must be considered.

Virtual-Permeable Reactive Barrierâ„¢

IEG's patented vertical Groundwater Circulation Wellâ„¢ (IEG GCWâ„¢) technology enables the simultaneous containment and accelerated treatment of organic compounds and inorganic contaminants like ammonia, nitrate and heavy metals.

When a GCWâ„¢ is situated within a groundwater contamination plume, this creates effective hydraulic control across a large diameter ellipsoidal capture zone within the aquifer. If the width of a plume is larger than the capture zone of a single GCWâ„¢ several GCW's are arranged in one line. When applied as multiple systems in this way, the capture zone of each well interlocks transforming the aquifer into a reactive zone through which no groundwater can pass without being caught and treated.

Thus, a line of several GCW's represents a Virtual-Permeable Reactive Barrierâ„¢ (IEG's V-PRBâ„¢). more...

EIC-CL:AIRE Joint Industry Group on Asbestos in Soil

Following the launch at the recent EIC-CL:AIRE-BOHS Asbestos in Soil conference by Michael Lunn, EIC Director of Policy and Public Affairs, of the EIC-CL:AIRE joint Industry Working Group on asbestos in soil, we would now like to call upon industry practitioners to submit summary cases of good and bad practice in relation to circumstances where development projects encounter asbestos on site.

We would like to collate and analyse these in an effort to better understand the practical issues faced by our industry as applied to the investigation, analysis, assessment, waste classification and remediation of ground materials contaminated by asbestos.

It is hoped that such feedback will better inform the development on an industry Code of Practice by allowing due consideration of the many and varied scenarios and circumstances that we face when dealing with asbestos in the ground.
We are asking for summary and anonymised information only, highlighting the key issues and any problems that are thrown up by site conditions, regulatory intervention, etc., and how these are being overcome, or not as the case may be. Would you kindly send your summaries to the following email address: steveforster@iegtechnologies.co.uk.

Steve Forster, Chair, EIC Asbestos in Soil Sub-Group.
