Remediation

Careful selection of remediation technologies avoids the need for costly off-site disposal

Disposal to landfill has long been seen as a quick and simple method of site remediation. However, whilst 'dig and dump' was never a cheap option, the removal of the landfill tax exemption for contaminated land has substantially increased costs.  With these costs set to escalate year on year, on-site treatment techniques frequently offer the best solutions. 

ERS provides a comprehensive range of technologies capable of remediating soil and groundwater without the need for disposal to landfill.

Where time schedules mean that off-site soil treatment remains the best option, ERS offers integrated waste handling and remediation at one of our soil treatment centres, minimising landfill tax liability.

We treat a wide range of contaminants including:

• hydrocarbons
• chlorinated solvents
• metals
• invasive weeds

using a comprehensive range of techniques:

• physical
• chemical
• thermal
• biological
