Thermal desorption is a process where heat is used to remove contaminants from soil. Heating certain contaminants will reduce their concentrations. The most common use...

Soil Washing
Washing soils is more often than not about sorting soils into different constituent parts, gravels, sands and other fines. It’s difficult to explain ‘why?’ without...

Stabilization
Environmental stabilization of soils is carried out with the intention of tying up contamination so that the risk from contamination is removed. This should facilitate...
