IAI provided geotextile tube dewatering and water treatment services for this project, dewatering 14,000 cubic yards of PCBs contaminated sediment and treating up to 1,000 gpm of water flow.
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.
Conner Creek CSO Dredging Project
[table id=11 /] IAI dredged 180,000 cubic yards of in-situ material from Conner Creek to create capacity for a new combined sewage overflow treatment facility. The project involved the removal of approximately 100,000 cubic yards of contaminated sediments utilizing an 8 inch diameter swinging ladder dredge and an 8 inch diameter auger dredge. A specially […]
