Data-Driven, Targeted Treatment
Sustainability begins with efficiency. Using our Remedial Design Characterization process, we develop a Quantitative High-Resolution Conceptual Site Model to target contaminant sources with precision. By focusing on high-impact areas, we reduce the volume of material treated, minimize reagent use, and limit disturbance to surrounding environments.
Low-Impact Remediation Methods
AST employs in-situ technologies that treat contamination without large-scale excavation or waste generation, including tailored treatment strategies that immobilize or destroy contaminants without excavation.
- In-Situ Remediation with site-specific reagents to promote rapid contaminant breakdown
- Overburden Injection to target dissolved-phase hydrocarbons in unconsolidated soils
- Bedrock Injection for deeper impacts where soil contamination extends into fractured bedrock zones
- GeoTAP™ (Advanced Pre-Drill) for minimal surface disruption and reduced equipment mobilization
- Permeable Reactive Barriers (PRBs) to passively treat migrating plumes over time
Material and Energy Efficiency
We prioritize remediation methods that conserve resources, reduce energy usage, and limit transportation requirements:
- Reagent selection based on effectiveness, availability, and low environmental impact
- Use of Soil Mixing to treat materials on-site, reducing the need for offsite disposal
- Field equipment optimized for lower fuel consumption and emissions
Integration with Site Redevelopment
Sustainable remediation often aligns with property reuse and redevelopment goals. Our experience with Brownfield Remediation, Industrial Site Cleanup, and Environmental Construction ensures cleanup activities support long-term land use plans and community revitalization.
Compliance and Stakeholder Engagement
We design sustainable remediation projects to meet regulatory requirements while addressing stakeholder concerns about environmental impact. Clear communication, transparent reporting, and measurable sustainability metrics help build trust and demonstrate value.
Long-Term Environmental Benefits
By combining precise characterization, efficient delivery systems, and passive treatment options, AST achieves cleanup goals with fewer mobilizations, reduced waste, and minimized site disruption—protecting both environmental resources and client budgets for the long term.
