IAI self-performed hydraulic dredging, geotextile tube dewatering and water treatment operations for this environmental dredging project, involving the removal of highly concentrated PCBs and sediment from underground raceways.
PCBs Remediation
The most common sediment contaminant that IAI has encountered in our sediment remediation and environmental dredging projects is polychlorinated biphenyls or PCBs. PCBs may also be referred to as Arcolors, the historical trade name of this group of synthetic chemicals. Below is a list of projects where IAI has performed remediation work, and PCBs were a contaminant of concern.
