Our Projects

Client: Environment Agency
Project: Groundwater Remediation Project, Helpston, near Peterborough

Site Description: Historic agricultural pesticide contamination from two landfill sites has caused pollution to public and private water supplies. The site requires water treatment and assessment of the contamination plumes. Hydrock is optimising the existing pump and treat system in order to prevent further migration of contamination, and is assessing the feasibility of accelerating the remediation at source within the landfill and leachate.

Services Provided: Geo-environmental; Risk assessment; Process engineering; Remediation strategy/contracting; Project management; Site investigation; Hydrogeological; Stakeholder liaison; Regulatory liaison; Environmental advice; Waste management advice; Operation and maintenance of treatment plant.

Outcome: Through significant improvements to the treatment plant and abstraction system, and enhanced understanding of the local geology, hydrology and contaminant distribution, remediation has been accelerated to reduce overall timeframes.
