The Greenville-based environmental engineering firm recently gained recognition for an innovative groundwater contamination pilot project. It was featured on the cover of Pollution Engineering magazine and at an international conference.
The project that drew international attention and recognition involved the development of an innovative remedy to groundwater treatment. Combining the novel use of two typically incompatible remediation technologies at one site – chemical reduction and chemical oxidation – the solution was considered cutting-edge and provided efficient and successful results, including reduced cleanup time. It was designed in collaboration with remediation contractor Geo-Cleanse International.
George Y. Maalouf, vice president and director of assessment, remediation and compliance for Rogers & Callcott, and Dan Bryant of Geo-Cleanse International Inc., were asked to present the findings of the project at AquaConsoil 2013, an international conference on Groundwater-Soil-Systems and Water Resource Management in Barcelona, Spain, which highlights top scientific achievements worldwide.
