Former Patch Petroleum Facility Excavation
Location: Rutland, Vermont


Summary
四虎影院completed an impacted soil remediation project at a former facility site requiring the excavation of soil contaminated with light separate hydrocarbons (SPH). Prior to performing the shoring installation, 四虎影院performed baseline monitoring surveys for 1 commercial building on site and 2 residential properties adjacent to the site.
四虎影院utilized a wet/dry vacuum truck and air knife to remove soil from 0-8 feet below grade surface in support of protecting existing utilities. Next, 四虎影院installed a multi-cell, steel sheet pile excavation support system to support excavations ranging from 25 to 30 feet below grade (fbg). Impacted soil was live loaded by 四虎影院into trucks to transport the waste for off-site disposal.
Soil that was too saturated was temporarily stockpiled and dewatered and/or stabilized using lime dust. Up to 40,000 gallons was collected and stored along with waste water (from decontamination activities) in a 21,000 frac tank before being transported off-site via vacuum tanker and disposed of at a permitted disposal facility.
During the excavation services, 四虎影院transported and disposed of approximately 11,000 tons of petroleum impacted soil. Following the excavation services, 四虎影院imported and placed crushed stone and gravel fill material into each excavation cell. 四虎影院then placed and compacted the previously excavated clean soil and filled the excavations to the existing ground surface. During backfilling activities, up to twelve (12) 4鈥 diameter monitoring wells were installed within the excavation area. After excavation and backfilling activities were completed, 四虎影院restored the site to pre-existing conditions prior to demobilization.
