Most industrial activities can cause environmental damage, caused by poor waste management and incorrect storage of raw materials, giving rise to polluting substances reaching the soil and, what is worse, groundwater, contaminating aquifers and spreading contamination.

Biogroup has the know-how and experience in the field of diagnosis, impact assessment, risk analysis, remediation project and operation, environmental liabilities and audits on soil and water contamination built on 20 years of uninterrupted presence in the market.

In this sense, the Biogroup Engineering Area provides the following services:

Environmental audits of purchase-sale transactions "Due Diligence".
Historical study of locations, prior to the evaluation of possible soil contamination (Phase I).
Determination of the Baseline.
Characterization studies of potentially contaminated sites (Phase II).
Design of sampling plans for groundwater and contaminated soils.
Preliminary Reports of the Soil Situation.
Periodic monitoring reports and environmental surveillance.
Remediation projects and corrective measures (Phase III).
Biotreatability studies. Pilot trials.
Construction of infrastructure for cleaning sites.
Risk Assessment (RBCA) for the establishment of maximum admissible concentrations and NGR (Generic Reference Levels).
Analysis of soil, water and subsoil gases in our own, certified and accredited laboratory.
Design, construction and maintenance of Treatment Units.

The technologies currently used by our team for the decontamination of soil and groundwater are listed below:

  • Bioremediation
  • Bioaugmentation and Biostimulation
  • Natural Attenuation
  • Composting and Biopiles
  • Landfarming
  • In situ Chemical Reduction
  • In situ Chemical Oxidation
  • Phytoremediation
  • Solidification / Stabilization

Our successes are based on:

Development of a remediation strategy that meets customer requirements.
Creation of a framework for proactive dialogue with regulatory bodies that satisfy the technical and political requirements of both parties.
Implementation of an effective and realistic remediation plan based on minimizing costs and maximizing efforts in the application of appropriate corrective measures.
Deliver on time and within schedule based on original proposal and budget.
