Soil Excavation and In-Situ Stabilization
NorthStar can meet the needs of any soil management project.
- Excavation and removal of hazardous or contaminated materials from soil, sediment, and, groundwater
- Bench Studies and Pilot Projects to evaluate and develop mix designs that will minimize the cost of additives to stabilize/fixate hazardous constituents including Heavy Metals, PCBS and other wastes
- Shallow Soil Mixing (SSM) with depths to 30’ for In Situ Stabilization (ISS) using Excavators
- Deep Soil Mixing (DSM) with depths to 100’ for In Situ Stabilization (ISS) using Auger Platforms
NorthStar has the most experience with MGP (Manufactured Gas Plant) site remediation in the US.
50+ MGP projects for different clients using ISS & Excavation.
