Analysis in the context of rehabilitation

In the context of rehabilitation plans concerning the hazardous waste materials at the “Former bathing facilities, Gehrden”, Gehrden municipality commissioned GBA’s Hildesheim office in November 2008 to perform appropriate analyses during the exploratory examination phase to determine the extent of contamination with volatile CHCs.

In addition to direct-push, groundwater, soil and waste sampling that, obviously, concentrated on volatile CHCs, the soil oxygen demand (SOD) and the permanganate soil oxidant demand (PSOD) were ascertained in order to evaluate the feasibility of using ISCO (in-situ chemical oxidation) methods of rehabilitation.

Our range of environmental services comprises:

Consultancy:
Personal advice on sampling matters, i.e. logistics, collection and analysis

The logistics of sampling:
Provision of containers and transport for samples

Sample taking:

The following types of samples are tested:

Waste/recyclables:
e.g. used oil, wood, sewage sludge and other sludges, sediments, dust, electronic waste

Gas/air:
e.g. soil air, landfill gas, exhaust air, raw gas, product gas, biogas, ambient air

Water:
e.g. drinking water, waste water, ground and surface water, process water, leach water
