Dundee Distribution Yard & Call Centre Facility CASE STUDY VACUUM-ENHANCED REMEDIATION OF HYDROCARBON CONTAMINATION £365,000 PROJECT VALUE: PROJECT TIMESCALES: 5 YEARS CHALLENGE: A geologically complex site with variable glacial deposits overlying the fractured sandstone aquifer. A major fault, situated close to the site boundary added further complexity to contaminant distribution. An extensive free product plume was impacting the major aquifer and risked off-site migration. As a live site, remedial work had to minimise disruption to vehicle movements in the busy goods yard and telecommunications associated with the call centre. OUTCOMES: • 27,000 litres of partially weathered heating oil recovered • 77,000 m 3 of contaminated groundwater treated • Off-site plume migration pre
