How does EESI treat contaminated soil and water?

Soil Treatment

Our soil treatment solutions are designed to rehabilitate, remediate, or prepare soil for sustainable land use. The services we provide contribute to environmental conservation, land reclamation, and the promotion of sustainable agricultural practices, addressing the diverse needs of our clients with scientific expertise and pragmatic solutions.

Our soil remediation approach integrates physical, chemical and biological techniques, customised to address specific soil conditions and objectives. Physical methods such as soil aeration and compaction control are employed to enhance soil structure and water infiltration, ensuring optimal growing conditions. Chemical treatments are utilised to adjust pH levels and nutrient content, promoting healthy plant growth and productivity. Biological treatments harness the activity of microorganisms to decompose organic matter, degrade pollutants, and enhance soil fertility naturally.

EESI's soil treatment and remediation services include:

  • Bioremediation – Dynamic Biopiles™
  • Excavation and Off–Site Disposal
  • Off–Site Soil Treatment
  • Bonded Asbestos Removal
  • Acid Sulfate Soil Treatment
  • Soil Vapour Extraction
  • Chemical Oxidation, Reduction and Immobilisation
  • On–Site Repository or On–Site Containment

Groundwater Treatment

Similar to our soil treatment approach, how we go about treating groundwater involves a combination of physical, chemical, and biological treatment methods, depending on the specific characteristics of the contaminants present.

Physical methods such as filtration and air stripping are utilised to remove suspended solids and volatile compounds. Chemical treatments such as oxidation and precipitation target dissolved contaminants, including heavy metals and organic pollutants. Our biological remediations are based on natural processes of microorganisms to degrade organic compounds and neutralise contaminants, promoting groundwater remediation and rehabilitation.

Our groundwater services encompass a range of scientifically proven methods aimed at restoring and preserving groundwater quality for various applications. By Integrating advanced technologies with expert knowledge, we help you to address contamination and ensure the protection of valuable water resources.

EESI's groundwater treatment and remediation services include:

  • Enhanced In-Situ Bioremediation
  • In-Situ Chemical Oxidation and Reduction
  • Monitored Natural Attenuation
  • Hydraulic Containment
  • NAPL Recovery
  • PFAS Water Treatment and Removal
