EESI Group was engaged to design, install, and operate a bioremediation pad on-site. The process involved using waste materials like ammonium sulfate, wooden chips, and shelly sand, along with proprietary ameliorants and accelerants. The remediation involved initial intensive treatment, followed by planting vegetation on the pad. This approach not only treated the contaminated soil but also transformed it into topsoil suitable for landscaping.
The project was a success, with 8,000m³ of severely contaminated soil being converted into valuable topsoil, used for covering slag heaps and site landscaping. This process significantly reduced dust pollution in the surrounding area. Overall, about 30,000m³ of contaminated material was remediated, demonstrating the effectiveness of EESI's approach in meeting environmental compliance and contributing to sustainable site development.
