Environmental Engineering
Works and Services
We perform site remediation works and provide environmental engineering services for the
private and public sectors.
We combine our technical and professional capacities to analyze the site and carry out the relevant studies with our operational expertise to tackle environmental engineering works. We follow local and international standards, such as ASTM, USEPA, Argentine Normalization and Certification Institute, among others. We take a comprehensive, preventive approach to identify and control environmental risks that could affect our clients’ normal operations. We are registered with the relevant institutions at the national, provincial and municipal levels.
Environmental Services
PHASE I AND PHASE II ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENTS
We follow ASTM standards. After the Phase I ESA, a Phase II ESA may be required to determine soil and groundwater quality.
RBCA RISK ASSESSMENT
Risk-based corrective action assessments allow us to obtain information that will guide decision-making when choosing the appropriate containment and remediation measures and outlining corrective action plans.
SOIL AND GROUNDWATER REMEDIATION
If the site is contaminated, we carry out a remediation project, managing all stages from initial assessment to execution and closing.
HYDROGEOLOGICAL STUDIES
These studies help us determine the hydrogeological parameters of an aquifer, assessing contaminant migration and distribution, as well as groundwater permeability and flow velocity and direction. We also perform non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) transmissivity testing to evaluate its recoverability.
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLANS
We draft customized plans on a case-by-case basis, covering all stages of the project.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENTS
Our team of experts carry out the assessments following all applicable laws and regulations.
ENVIRONMENTAL AUDITING
Our audits identify all sorts of critical operational issues. We also perform preliminary risk screen assessments.
ENVIRONMENTAL RESTORATION PROGRAMS
We draft a three-phase program for the short, mid and long term, according to the requirements and urgency of each case.
PERMIT MANAGEMENT BEFORE THE RELEVANT ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES
We take care of all paperwork before the relevant enforcement authorities, from initial filings to obtaining permits.
Environmental Remediation
We carry out soil and water remediation works at different water table depths. We use different technologies, including soil vapor extraction (SVE), air sparging (AS), dual-phase vacuum extraction, bioventing, landfarming, windrow composting, groundwater pumping, free product recovery, activated carbon water treatment, and heavy metal removal from soil and groundwater.
Technologies
AIR STRIPPING
Used to remove volatile organic compounds from the vadose zone and the phase liquid.
DUAL-PHASE VACUUM EXTRACTION
Used to treat groundwater and soil contaminated with volatile components at the same time.
GROUNDWATER PUMPING AND FREE PRODUCT RECOVERY
Used to recover light liquids from the groundwater surface.
BIOVENTING
Used to remove volatile and non-volatile organic compounds from the vadose zone.
BIOPILES/WINDROW COMPOSTING
Used to reduce the presence of oil constituents in surface soil by composting in biopiles.
SOIL VAPOR EXTRACTION
Used to remove volatile organic compounds from the vadose zone.
BIOPILES
Used to reduce the presence of oil constituents in surface soil by composting in biopiles.
LANDFARMING
Used to treat and dispose of the contaminants at the same time. Waste is mixed with the soil surface to be degraded or transformed through adequate management.
CHEMICAL OXIDATION
Used to remove organic contaminants effectively and efficiently through advanced catalytic oxidation using hydrogen peroxide (oxygenated water) and iron nanoparticles at high temperatures.
ENVIRONMENTAL AUDITING
Our audits identify all sorts of critical operational issues. We also perform preliminary risk screen assessments.
OTHER TECHNOLOGIES
Desorption - Hydraulic Barriers - Solidification - Vitrification - Encapsulation
Projects and Works
Thanks to our trained staff and operational and technical capabilities, we are able to carry out environmental remediation and sanitation works. We have suitable vehicles and equipment, and are backed by our vast experience, which includes many major projects.
