Measures for Soil Contamination
Soil and groundwater contamination conditions differ depending on the compositions of heavy metals, volatile organic compounds, dioxins, oils and fats, and other contaminants. Efficient restoration requires total engineering technologies encompassing soil surveys and analyses; planning, implementation, and monitoring of countermeasures; and follow-up care, such as the formulation of proposals for empty lot utilization.
Penta-Ocean offers total engineering services encompassing soil surveys through to follow-up care by applying its experience and technological capabilities backed by more than a century in operation.
- Survey and planning
Site conditions are examined and appropriate plans are made according to the type of contaminant. After compiling this data from both general and detailed surveys, the scope of the restoration plan is then determined.
- Restoration planning
Restoration work is carried out using the appropriate technologies for each situation and is employed to remove contaminants from the natural ecology of the area affected. Restoration technologies are roughly classified into a sealing type, which does not allow diffusion of contaminants to the exterior environment, and the cleansing type, which is used to either decompose or dispose of contaminants.

- Monitoring
Monitoring is carried out to detect changes in the concentration of contaminants after restoration and to estimate current conditions. After forecasting the effects of restoration, conducting the appropriate monitoring of restoration procedures and ground water conditions, and considering the environment and site conditions, an appropriate plan to utilize empty sites is formulated. This type of aftercare is effective in the prevention of secondary contamination to the surrounding areas.
