Abstract:

When soil and ground water contamination are found at a construction site, completing the project on time and within budget is always a challenge. Typical problems include constraints to dewatering, limited surface space, subsurface obstructions, restrictions to moving and storing contaminated materials on-site, increased Occupational Safety and Health Agency site safety compliance regulations, and coordination with concurrent construction work. But discovery of contamination on a construction site doesn't have to mean big delays and added costs. Three projects--a highway expansion, a condominium development and a refinery upgrade--show how to integrate remediation with construction.
