  • Soil remediation, one discipline within the broader scope of environmental remediation, is the process of decontaminating soil. RECON is an industry leader in soil and sludge stabilization and solidification.
  • A secant wall is used in deep foundations in situations where the surface soil layers are unstable.
  • Among the processes used in soil remediation, excavation and dredging are among the most common. The process involves extracting unrecoverable contaminated soil.
  • Secant pile walls are one of the most economical methods of creating effective water control barriers for building structural walls, top-down tunnels and dams.
  • Deep Soil Mixing is a in-situ soil improvement technology used to construct cutoff or retaining walls and to treat contaminated soils.
  • This sludge pond is a good candidate for bio remediation or stabilization.
  • RECON's excavator is capable of digging a slurry wall up to 100 ft deep. Slurry walls have been used for decades to provide cost-effective, long-term solutions for many groundwater control problems.
  • Soil remediation project using remote placement conveyor.
  • Driving concrete pile to strengthen and support structural foundations.
  • Slurry wall construction is used to create non-structural barriers (Cutoff Walls, Slurry Trenches), which are constructed underground to impede groundwater flow.

Waterway Remediation

 

As industry has addressed many of the source areas of contamination, focus has moved downstream. As a company born in the Gulf Coast, we have a great deal of experience working in soft, wet soil conditions in, and around, bodies of water. RECON has substantial experience in remediation of surface waters including streams, rivers, lakes, ponds, bayous, and bays. Specific techniques involve stream diversion, cofferdam installation, mechanical dredging, sediment solidification, stabilization, dewatering, water treatment, and wetlands mitigation. Specialized equipment and techniques include marsh buggy excavators, crane mats, sheet piling, silt and turbidity curtains, temporary dikes, and bridges.

Waterway Remediation

 

RECON performed emergency actions at this 38-acre coastal property in Southern California. The site contained 750,000 cubic yards of waste within several lagoons. Heavy rains produced stress cracks and leakage in the side berms supporting the waste.
