Electronic Components Manufacturer Remediation

[vc_row content_aligment="center"][vc_column][vc_column_text] Soil and groundwater at this industrial facility became contaminated through inadvertent release of PCE to a storm sewer. Draper Aden provided a novel, in situ remediation approach, developed to address the dissolved PCE that has already reached the confined aquifer and low levels that could enter the aquifer in the future. We performed environmental remediation and monitoring to assist the manufacturing site. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]...
