Excavation & Removal
Sustainable solutions for soil, water, and habitat restoration
Overview of Excavation & Removal
Remedial excavation services are similar to traditional earthwork techniques, but targeted at removing hazardous materials for environmental sites. These solutions are used to safely remove impacted soils and materials to support remediation and redevelopment. The techniques utilized for remedial excavations are designed to control exposure risks while maintaining site stability and regulatory compliance. Geo-Solutions coordinates excavation, material handling, and disposal activities to minimize disruption to surrounding areas. Remedial excavation is commonly applied on industrial, commercial, and infrastructure projects requiring effective soil removal and site restoration.
Key Benefits
- Safely removes impacted or contaminated soils from affected sites
- Reduces environmental and human health risks
- Supports regulatory compliance and site closure requirements
- Enables site restoration and future redevelopment
- Controls off-site migration of contaminants
- Provides a proven, effective remediation approach for a wide range of site conditions
Applications
- Removal of contaminated soil at industrial and commercial sites
- Environmental remediation at former manufacturing or storage facilities
- Site redevelopment and brownfield restoration projects
- Infrastructure projects requiring excavation of impacted materials
- Emergency response for spills or releases impacting soil
Auger Excavation (LDA)
Large‑diameter auger excavation refers to a controlled excavation method using oversized augers. LDA systems are commonly used where access is limited preventing the use of a more conventional excavation approach.
Dredging
Dredging refers to the removal of sediments from waterways to support remediation or construction. Dredging can be performed from a barge in the water or from the shoreline.
Traditional Earthwork
Traditional earthwork refers to excavation, grading, and material handling activities that support construction and remediation. Excavators, dozers, and haul equipment are commonly used in earthwork operations.
Marine Services
Marine services refer to construction and remediation activities performed in rivers, harbors, and waterfront environments. In-water soil mixing performed from barges, dredging, and in-water capping are common marine construction approaches.
environmental remediation
Environmental remediation refers to methods for isolating, stabilizing, and treating contaminated soil, sediment, and groundwater. In situ stabilization and solidification performed using soil mixing is a common environmental remediation approach.
preconstruction services
Preconstruction services refer to early‑stage contractor involvement to address constructability components to inform project planning. Bench scale studies, constructability reviews, and pilot programs are commonly used to support design and solution selection.
