Bioremediation of sites contaminated by oil derived substances Different methods of reclamation are used to dispose of contamination, e.g.: ground replacement, free floating product removal, biotechnological methods including implementation of bacteria strains decomposing hydrocarbons and plants able to absorb, stabilize or metabolize contamination. Nowadays methods using bacteria strains decomposing hydrocarbons seem to be the most appropriate due to ecological and economical reasons. This[...]

DEKONTA Polska Sp. z o.o. besides conducting reclamation processes, geological and hydrogeological projects also offers engineering geology services: * engineering geology plans and reports * geotechnical opinions and reports * geotechnical surveys and measurements, including: - the degree and index of ground compacting - bearing capacity of the ground * acceptances of foundation trenches * engineering geology supervision[...]

Determination of the degree and the range of ground and water environment contamination Before the reclamation process of ground and water environment starts geological, hydrogeological conditions and character, range and degree of contamination should be determined precisely. In order to achieve it different methods are used, e.g. bore holes drilling, atmogeochemical and geophysical investigations. Bore holes allow to define the geological profile, groundwater table level, sample ground and[...]

The environmental protection is a very wide issue including many different science disciplines which are often distant to each other. Legal regulations and acts are also an important aspect. The base law in the field of environment in Poland is the Environmental Protection Law which i.a. imposes the reclamation duty and elaborating environmental impact assessments or reports. Those duties demand not only preparing documentations but also conducting approving procedures. Therefore DEKONTA Polska Sp.[...]
