The full cycle
Our team has a deep understanding of the full remediation cycle, with particular skills in diagnosing problems and anticipating contingencies. For this reason, the greatest impact and value are achieved if The Remediation Group is engaged at the design stage, although this is not always necessary.
Our practical services cover the full remediation cycle to provide maximum flexibility and responsiveness to individual client’s needs.
Design
After meeting with the client or client’s consultants, site appraisal and review of suitable techniques, we will propose alternative remediation strategies for consideration. Once agreed, we will design a system based on site requirements, compliance standards, equipment specifications, maintenance needs and using manufacturers whom we know. For sites with unique or particularly challenging remediation needs, we will design a bespoke solution from scratch.
If the remediation has several stages or requires equipment modification or relocation, we build in flexibility at the design stage to ensure smooth and cost-effective transitions. We also consider where the system will be installed, impact of noise, aesthetics, maintenance access etc on the same or neighbouring sites, the need for fixed or mobile placement and other aspects, as relevant.
Construction
Solutions designed by The Remediation Group are also built by us. Choosing components from a variety of suppliers whom we know and trust, we build systems that are robust, compliant and flexible, enabling modification and adaptation to future site or client needs.
Installation
Our remediation solutions are mostly in situ so the installation and testing on site are vital. We deliver, install and test the units on site to ensure that the specified performance can be delivered. This may require testing over a short period, analysis of results by ourselves or independent agencies and minor adjustments to ensure the required efficacy.
Commissioning
Once tested and results accepted, we set the units up on site for the period of the remediation or remediation stage, including equipment settings, protection from the elements or damage, site security and more. At this stage we establish the maintenance schedule to ensure ongoing, incident-free operation.
Maintenance
Ongoing maintenance ensures long term effective operation, and is vital to the success of any remediation project. We build in testing to ensure that long term performance conforms with specifications and that equipment is operating effectively and efficiently.
Relocation
We are often engaged to move existing equipment from one site to another, enabling reuse after a successful site remediation. Equipment may have been designed by the Remediation Group or by others. We test on site, review operations and maintenance manuals, appraise the new site and make adjustments as needed. We relocate the unit, test and commission and set an ongoing testing and maintenance schedule as for new equipment.
Pilot trials
Clients sometimes seek pilot equipment to test site conditions and confirm final design parameters, before committing to construction of full scale units. We provide this service as well as pilot plant testing, design or design modifications for full scale units.
Modification of existing equipment
Based on our long remediation experience, we are sometimes engaged to optimise performance of equipment designed and built by others. As with relocation, we test the unit on site, review operations and maintenance manuals, appraise conditions on site and recommend adjustments or modifications as needed.
Sale or rental of equipment
Depending on the client, the type and scale of equipment and the length of the remediation period, some clients prefer to rent rather than purchase the equipment. Where possible and practicable, we are happy to accommodate either option as required.
