Audi appointed AECOM’s environmental and remediation specialists to perform a baseline investigation for its Brussels production site, a total of 49 different cadastral parcels covering approximately 44 hectares.<\/p>\n
As the start of the baseline investigation, our environmental experts conducted a thorough historical investigation of the site\u2019s past activities. This included a review of the municipal archive, to determine potentially contaminated areas at the site.\u00a0 We presented the outcome in a summary using our internal Geographic Information System system.<\/p>\n
The intrusive field work comprised 170 soil drillings from which we selected 250 soil samples for analysis. Drilling works took place according to the site-specific health and safety requirements, and with applicable regulatory protocols. In addition, we took 150 groundwater samples and sent\u00a0 them for lab analysis.<\/p>\n
AECOM reported the outcome of this extensive field investigation according to the regulatory format as a verkennend bodemonderzoek<\/em> or reconnaissance de l\u2019\u00e9tat du sol<\/em>, which\u00a0the local environmental authorities subsequently approved.<\/p>\n Audi also requested a remediation budget estimate. To provide a consistent approach, we developed\u00a0 a standard cost-estimation methodology to apply for every contaminated area. We then delivered an overall liability estimation to the site management.<\/p>\n Additionally, our remediation specialists provided soil management advice and services related to site maintenance works. Our plan describing control measures was approved by the local environmental authorities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":0,"template":"","tags":[],"city":[473],"class_list":["post-19179","project","type-project","status-publish","hentry","city-brussels"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/19179","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/22"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/19179\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19179"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19179"},{"taxonomy":"city","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aecom.com\/tr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/city?post=19179"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
