Land Remediation
What is Land Remediation?
Taking care of our environment today is essential for the sustainability of future generations. Our Land Remediation Service focuses on the meticulous process of removing contaminants or particles from surface water, groundwater, and soil. This strategy is implemented to mitigate atmospheric pollution and radiation risks. The primary objective of our global land remediation service is to protect all living beings and Mother Nature from the detrimental effects of land radiation. Notably, our routine procedures do not include radioactive materials, despite the heightened concern and stringent regulations surrounding their use, control, and disposal.
Many companies mistakenly believe that radioactivity is irrelevant unless the site has been linked to the nuclear power, defense, or related industries. However, it is increasingly evident that radioactivity can be a significant factor in a broader range of contexts. As the remediation and recovery of brownfield sites have gained importance worldwide, so has our commitment. Copperwings Energy Solutions is now recognized as one of the world’s leading experts in this field.Our expert consultancy and services for all aspects of radioactively contaminated land projects are unparalleled. We offer radiation surveys, RPA and RWA advice, environmental impact assessments, training, and specialist radiation safety support, ensuring that companies across the globe have the skills, knowledge, and experience needed to complete their remediation projects successfully. We strive to fulfill our key service commitments every time, delivering top-quality service and maintaining our reputation as global leaders in the independent radiation protection sector.
Radio logical environmental remediation Environmental
Remediation aims to reduce radiation exposure from contaminated soil, waste storage facilities or other contaminated infrastructure, groundwater or surface water. Its purpose is to return affected lands and water resources for safe public use.
Nuclear regulators and operators of nuclear facilities are responsible for the prevention of accidents or practices that could result in the contamination of the environment. The Paramount’s Safety Standards, appropriately applied, provide the regulatory and technical infrastructure that helps forestall such situations.
If, however, radiation contamination of the environment cannot be prevented, PARAMOUNT safety requirements can be applied to remediate the contaminated areas. This is a systematic process that involves:
- addressing immediate safety concerns;
- a radiological characterization and safety assessment of contaminated areas;
- feasibility studies to identify remedial options;
- planning for remediation;
- the implementation of optimized remedial solutions; and
- the post-remediation management of contaminated areas.
To reduce the radiation exposure, radionuclides need to be removed or immobilized and the pathways of exposure modified so people cannot come into contact with radiological contamination.
In cases of environmental contamination, Copperwings Energy Solutions assists affected Member States in their efforts to reduce radiological exposure to safe levels. Our assistance programmes help countries develop national remediation strategies, build technical competencies, and strengthen their regulatory capacities for remediation. Copperwings Energy Solutions is also extensively involved in radiological environmental impact assessments of former radioactive waste sites, areas affected by nuclear accidents, and contaminated riverine systems.
To protect the public and resolve environmental liabilities, countries need timely and accurate information on the safety and regulatory supervision of remediation activities, remediation strategies and technologies, management options, and stakeholder involvement. Copperwings Energy Solutions supports its Member States through training, international peer reviews, international safety demonstration projects, expert missions, and projects that focus on specific national or regional problems. We deliver these services through our technical cooperation programme and the network on environmental remediation.
