SOIL REMEDIATION

Soil Remediation 

Soil Remediation Services
for Odessa, TX; Oklahoma City, OK & the Surrounding Areas

eTECH is well versed in the strategies required to develop a plan to treat, remove, dispose, and restore a site to a usable commodity in a timely, economic manner. Most importantly, eTECH's highly trained personnel can respond to unexpected scenarios that may arise during this process and adapt quickly and effectively. Some of the most common contaminates encountered in soil include hydrocarbons, produced water, and NORM.


eTECH offers a broad range of soil remediation technologies because we understand that each site is unique. We let the site dictate the approach best suited for the client. Determining the appropriate course of action is accomplished with an environmental site assessment, research, evaluation, experience, soil science, geology, climatology, and hydrogeology. Our team of professionals will combine these elements to create a custom-tailored scope of work to remediate each site with full project management or our turn key services.


Contact us to learn more about our soil remediation services or to develop your plan of action today. We are proud to assist clients throughout Odessa, Midland, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, Lubbock, Abilene, San Angelo, TX; Denver, CO; Oklahoma City, Tulsa, OK; and the surrounding areas.


Examples of our remediation arsenal are listed below.

Surface and Subsurface Soil Investigations

eTECH is a recognized leader in all types of soil investigations. An effective surface or subsurface investigation begins with understanding the site’s environmental and chemical complexities. Our tenured environmental scientists can make the determinations necessary to produce a comprehensive analytical program through state-of-the-art field screening techniques and laboratory analysis that allows our team to provide the best service in the industry. eTECH staff maintains current and up to date soil analysis techniques such as:

 

  • Direct Push Technology
  • Hollow- and Solid-Stem Auger Drilling
  • Coring
  • Air- and Mud-Rotary Drilling
  • Rotosonic Drilling
  • Field Chloride Testing
  • PID Testing

 

Soil Washing

Soil washing has been used for many years to remove inorganic contaminants such as salts and heavy metals from soils. eTECH has designed, constructed, and operated soil washing systems that have successfully removed contaminants from thousands of yards of impacted soil, reducing costs over conventional disposal methods by as much as 40%.

Soil Vapor Extraction (SVE)

Soil Vapor Extraction is a proven technology often implemented by eTECH. This technology is also known as in-situ soil venting, in-situ volatilization, enhanced volatilization, or soil vacuum extraction. A vacuum is applied through extraction wells to create a pressure and concentration gradient that induces gas-phase volatiles to diffuse through soil to extraction wells, where they can be collected and removed with a system for handling off-gases.

Stabilization & Solidification

Stabilization and Solidification are proven soil remediation techniques where contaminants are physically bound together or encapsulated within a stabilized mass (solidification) or bound together through chemical reactions that are induced between a stabilizing agent and contaminants in order to reduce their mobility (stabilization). eTECH has utilized these processes on several hundred oil and gas sites throughout areas in the Rocky Mountains and southwestern United States.

Enhanced Biodegradation & Landfarming

The stimulation and use of naturally existing microbes in soil or water impacted with hydrocarbons and other contaminants is a widely used method of treatment. Biological degradation is an economically prudent, low maintenance remediation method that can achieve total destruction of hydrocarbons.

Containment & Capping 

Capping and/or containing can be a successful avenue to addressing site contaminants. eTECH has designed and installed caps and containments to address a variety of issues. Our qualified team maintains the equipment and other resources needed to construct containments or caps for all types of remedial situations.

Risk-Based Closures

Site characterization and the design and implementation of a corrective action program can be very challenging due to both the technical complexities and the regulatory constraints. eTECH evaluates the type and extent of contaminants at the site, assesses the potential for human health effects, ecological receptors, and environmental exposure issues to these contaminants and develops site-specific cleanup strategies consistent to the federal and state risk-based regulations. This method can be applied to soil and groundwater impacts. Contact us for more details regarding the requirements to qualify for risk-based closure.
