Technical Waste Services have consulted on a number of Decommissioning projects including the handling and treatment of NORMS (Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material). Over time scale can build up in the pipes, risers and Christmas trees used to extract Oil and Gas from wells both onshore and offshore. This scale needs to be handled, transported, treated and disposed of in a compliant and accountable way. Technical Waste Services have implemented working procedures, carried out audits, Set up Transfer Stations for the bulking of material prior to shipping. TWS have consulted with African Government Officials to help them understand the the need of environmental management systems and get their blessing for the setting up of TFS routes internationally for NORMS. More information on the projects can be given along with references if required.
Soil contamination or soil pollution occurs from the contamination of the earth by either man made or naturally occurring causes. Typical types of contamination involved can include petroleum hydrocarbons, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, lead or other metal contamination, all of which typically occurring from industrial activity.
The Soil Guideline Values from the Department for Environment give clear outlines as to the acceptable levels of contamination in your areas of concern. Should you wish to have your land treated for such contaminants, or are unsure if your land requires the relevant testing, please get in touch and we will be sure to help.
