CARTERET:

PROJECT: Contaminated Soil Remediation, from beneath basement floor slab
CLIENT: Preferred Mutual Insurance, Carteret, Middlesex County, NJ
DETAIL: Badly leaking sub-slab oil lines discharged hundreds of gallons of #2 oil beneath the basement floor. Oil was found to lie beneath the entire house. An access ramp was cut to enable heavy equipment access. A conveyor was utilized to lift contaminated soil and load trucks directly. Sectional underpinning of the foundation ensured structural integrity. Alternating 4' wide foundation sections were dug out, sampled, and re-poured with concrete. New footings, foundation, floor slab and heating system completed the site restoration, all by Anco crews.

EDISON:
PROJECT: Contaminated Soil Remediation, from beneath foundation
CLIENT: Traveler's Insurance, Edison Township, Middlesex County, NJ
DETAIL: Removed oil tank from beneath addition foundation. Oil migration, spread by shallow groundwater, was mapped by others and was confirmed to lie along footing of original structure, requiring undermining entire addition. Anco installed large I beams and, utilizing house jacks, supported addition on temporary footings and columns that extended beyond the building footprint. Groundwater monitoring confirmed non-actionable contamination levels. Anco installed new footings and foundation, and restored the site to its original condition.

HOBOKEN:
PROJECT: Groundwater Remediation, with Commingled Contamination Sources
CLIENT: Chubb Insurance, Hoboken, Hudson County, NJ
DETAIL: Oil contamination from leaking UST commingled with oil from neighbor's leaking UST. A pneumatically controlled free product skimming system was installed to remove the 9" floating free product layer. This was followed by use of a peatwick absorbent system. Weekly, the biweekly, then monthly peatwick element change-outs satisfied NJDEP corrective measure implementation requirements yet limited treatment to small area without influencing/disturbing nearby plumes. While alternative remedial approaches (i.e., EFR or pump & treat) would more quickly remediate the site, project duration was less a factor than exceeding policy limits, therefore this approach was deemed the most viable for the site.
