SERS was recently engaged to undertake multiple hydrocarbon spills within various regional and metro environments across WA. These spills have been both programmed works due to equipment failure, along with emergency works where the SERS spill response crews responded to emergency works within limited timeframes.
Location: South Coast Highway, Youngs Siding
The WA arm of SERS was engaged to complete a preliminary site investigation to determine the extent and level of a hydrocarbon contamination spill from faulty equipment in regional WA.
Upon receipt of the soil sample analysis from the preliminary investigation, SERS was able to provide a comprehensive summary of the remedial works required including a volume of affected soil contamination, equipment and timeframes for works to be completed, along with a detailed pricing schedule for our client to review.
Once the works were approved, SERS quickly undertook the required works, restoring the site to its previous pre-spill condition.
The project involved:
• Manually and mechanically excavating approximately 10 m3 of hydrocarbon impacted soil
• Loading the soil onto a truck for transport to a suitably licensed landfill
• Undertaking soil validation sampling from the walls and base of the excavation
• Backfilling the excavation and compacting 10 m3 of clean fill
• Completion of a spill remediation and validation report for the client.
