Selecting the Best Solution for Soil and Groundwater Remediation in Europe

Hydrogeology, Geology, & Environmental Issues

Databases, by SOILECTION, offers the following options. Search conditions generate technical descriptions of remediation techniques and practical experience (cases). The cases make it possible to assess the applicability of soil remediation techniques. The database is complemented with information from the HIP pilot program. Information from practice show which techniques are most effective in certain conditions. The SOILECTION website allows you to compare cases with your own planned remediation project.

SOILECTION draws on existing instruments like the Richtlijn Herstel Bodembeheer and Eurodemo. The technique descriptions and cases both use these existing databases.

1. Search (Database) for the most suitable techniques for contaminated sites based on:
   1. technical boundary conditions
   2. other boundary conditions like the remediation time span and the level of disturbance of the site.
2. Practical remediation experience (Case Histories).
3. Information about in situ remediation techniques (Techniques).
4. Information about recent developments (Innovation)
5. Description of in situ demonstration and optimization projects as part of the Holland InSitu Proeftuin project (HIP-pilots).
