GROUNDWATER REMEDIATION OPERATIONS, MAINTENANCE AND MONITORING OM&M is often a substantial portion of overall cost to bring a site to closure with innovative, effective and efficient approaches to reduce these long-term costs. WSP is focused on bringing sites to closure and reducing long term remediation costs. The primary source of long-term cost to clients is remediation of groundwater using active or passive systems, and the associated monitoring for compliance with regulatory requirements. We use a comprehensive, multi-tiered approach to improve the operation of remedial systems and reduce costs via process optimization, regulatory negotiations and supply management. Our projects have ranged in size from major refineries, manufacturing plants, chemical plants, landfills and mines down to small dry cleaner and leaking underground storage tank sites.
