Western Environmental was selected as the primary consultant and remediation contractor on a major construction project for an international retail client involving the design, construction, operation and maintenance of a PFAS groundwater treatment plant for construction dewatering.
Project delivery included consulting services (site investigation, management plans, risk assessment, approvals and permits, regulator liaison, remediation design, compliance monitoring and reporting) as well as plant operations (design and construction, commissioning, operations and maintenance) and waste management (spoil/treatment media handling, storage and disposal). Poor influent water quality combined with variable flow rates required innovative system design including bespoke pre-treatment. The plant was deployed in a mobile capacity at different locations within the site, requiring short turnaround remobilisation.
