Former helicopter fuel storage area overlying saturated shallow sands. Fuel (BTEX) contamination within the soil and dissolved in groundwater. Due to shallow groundwater, depths of impacts, and coarse-grained lithology, a winter injection program was developed.
Conducted a pilot test at the Site prior to full scale to ensure adequate distribution and determine the most appropriate radius of influence (ROI). Full scale in-situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) program was then conducted based on a 5 meter injection radius of influence. Establish health and safety protocol and site logistics for handling oxidizer.
Installed 42 injection wells and injected 60,000 litres of blended 15% EHP (enhanced hydrogen peroxide) oxidant. Blending is site specific following TRIUM’s ChemOx® process.
An in-situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) remediation was conducted at a residential property in North Vancouver to address petroleum hydrocarbons (LEPH), phenanthrene, and pyrene contamination in 200 m³ of impacted soil and groundwater following a heating oil UST leak that migrated under the building foundation, causing vapour intrusion and free product in property sumps. A 2.5-meter injection radius was used for targeted treatments within the basement and exterior property foundation, utilizing directional injections and drive-points to reach both saturated and unsaturated zones. TRIUM leveraged the property’s sump system to artificially raise the groundwater level, creating a fully saturated treatment zone. Over seven days, 24 basement injections and 3 exterior injections delivered 20,104 litres of sodium persulfate, blended using TRIUM’s TriOx process with specialized activation products. The treatment successfully met regulatory soil, groundwater, and vapour guidelines, required only six weeks for completion, and allowed the property owner to safely return home with minimal disturbance.
AISCT® revolutionizes site characterization with rapid, 20-minute soil and water analysis. This portable technology reduces lab dependence, enhances decision-making with real-time results, and ensures accurate volume estimations. It streamlines remediation, minimizes landfilling, and boosts confidence in project outcomes.
