Advertorial Make Significant Reductions in Your Remediation Project Costs O pportunity: There is significant opportunity for Remediation Project Managers to improve workflow and reduce costs with their projects. The traditional project approach for characterizing and remediating a site with soil contamination relies on multiple rounds of field mobilization for soil segregation and removal, sampling, sample shipment and laboratory analysis. The following case study presents an alternate approach that has shown to deliver tremendous benefits. Rapid, accurate, cost effective, on-site results = Smart Decisions Smart Decisions, on-site, with environmental testing products from Strategic Diagnostics Inc. Our products deliver rapid, accurate, reliable and cost effective results: so you can make smart, actionable and defensible decisions. We offer EPA approved (SW 846 methods), state of the art testing systems that are ideally suited for rapid field and lab testing of water, soil and sediment samples. Methods are available for a wide range of contaminants including PCB’s, explosives, PAH’s, petroleum compounds and pesticides. Improve your project efficiency and reduce your overall costs.

Solution: Use the EPA Triad approach, which combines systematic planning, on-site measurement and smart decision-making using a dynamic work plan, to facilitate rapid cleanup. By integrating site characterization, on-site measurements, on-site remedial decision making and remedial action you can realize expedited and cost effective cleanup of a contaminated site. In one prime example, a site contained soils contaminated with pesticides due to agriculture-related research activities. The project team implemented an integrated site characterization and remediation project: permitting characterization, excavation and segregation of soil based on the results of rapid on-site analyses employing environmental testing products available from Strategic Diagnostics Inc. These products provided real-time results that guided a dynamic work plan to seamlessly integrate site characterization and cleanup (soil removal, segregation and disposal) with surgical precision. This was accomplished within a single 4-month field mobilization. Expensive fixed-lab analyses were reserved for demonstrating reliability of results and for generating a statistically valid data set to comply with state closure requirements. This approach allowed for smart on-site decision making, significantly reducing the project costs. The entire project cost ($589 thousand) was half the cost estimated under a more traditional site characterization and remediation approach ($1.2 million). Cost savings were realized through reduced analytical costs, reduced waste volumes for treatment/disposal, and reduced mobilization/ demobilization costs. Strategic Diagnostics Inc., is a biotechnology company dedicated to bringing innovative solutions to analytical testing problems through immunotechnology. SDI is a leading developer and manufacturer of immunoassay-based test kits for both field-testing and laboratory use. These products are extensively used for contaminated-site assessment and remediation and water quality management.
