Technical Teams - Contaminated Land

 


Experts will collect samples of soil, as well as ground and surface water at varying depths and strategic locations in the landscape.


Once the samples have been chemically analysed to determine the presence, extent and nature of the oil pollution, the contaminated land team will make recommendations on how to rehabilitate the land to a condition that is environmentally acceptable, according to international standards.
