Contaminated Land Remediation Methods
John F Hunt Regeneration deliver advanced contaminated land remediation techniques to effectively and efficiently decontaminate polluted sites. We always aim for zero site export. Below is a detailed summary of the robust and effective methods we employ:
Stabilization / Solidification (S/S):
The incorporation of binding agents into contaminated media to immobilize hazardous constituents, reducing their mobility and potential for leaching into groundwater. This method can also geotechnically improve the physical characteristics of the ground.
Soil Washing
A mechanical process that involves the separation and scrubbing of soil particles to remove contaminants, making the soil suitable for reuse in land development projects.
Bioremediation
The use of biological agents, such as bacteria, fungi, or plants, to degrade or transform hazardous contaminants into non-toxic compounds through natural metabolic processes, enhancing soil and groundwater quality.
Chemical Treatment
The application of chemical reagents to neutralize, oxidize, or reduce contaminants, converting them into less hazardous or inert forms, ensuring compliance with environmental standards.
Thermal Desorption
The application of heat to contaminated soil or sediment to volatilize organic contaminants, which are then captured and treated in an advanced off-gas treatment system to prevent atmospheric pollution.
In Situ Chemical Oxidation
The injection of oxidizing agents (such as hydrogen peroxide, ozone, or permanganate) directly into the contaminated subsurface to chemically oxidize organic pollutants in situ, promoting rapid remediation.
Air Sparging
The injection of air into contaminated groundwater to strip volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and enhance aerobic biodegradation of contaminants, improving groundwater quality.
Phytoremediation
The use of hyperaccumulator plants to uptake, sequester, and/or degrade contaminants from soil and groundwater through natural processes, contributing to ecosystem restoration.
Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA)
Relies on natural processes to degrade environmental contaminants in soil and groundwater over time, with regular monitoring to ensure effectiveness.
Our scientifically robust contaminated land remediation techniques are tailored to the specific geochemical and hydrogeological conditions of each site, ensuring the most effective and sustainable remediation outcomes. Trust John F Hunt Regeneration for innovative and compliant solutions in environmental remediation.

Our land remediation services have several benefits, including:
- Reducing Environmental and Health Risks: Mitigates pollution to protect human health and the environment.
- Enabling Site Redevelopment: Transforms brownfield sites into viable commercial, residential, or recreational spaces.
- Groundwater Protection: Prevents contaminants from leaching into groundwater sources.
- Property Value Enhancement: Increases the value and usability of previously contaminated properties.
3. What are the various methods of land reclamation?
We employ a variety of scientifically robust land remediation methods, including:
- Stabilization/Solidification (S/S): Integrates binding agents to immobilize contaminants, preventing their spread.
- Bioremediation: Utilizes microorganisms to degrade and neutralize pollutants.
- Phytoremediation: Employs plants to absorb, sequester, and detoxify contaminants.
- Chemical Oxidation/Reduction: Uses chemical agents to oxidize or reduce contaminants, rendering them harmless.
- Thermal Desorption: Applies heat to volatilize and remove organic contaminants from soil.
- In Situ Chemical Oxidation (ISCO): Involves the injection of oxidizing agents to chemically degrade contaminants in place.
- Air Sparging: Introduces air into groundwater to volatilize and remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
- Containment: Constructs physical barriers to isolate contaminants and prevent their migration.
4. How long does the land remediation process take?
The duration of a remediation scheme depends on various factors, including the type and severity of contamination, the chosen remediation method employed, and available resources. Remediation can range from a few months to several years, depending on the complexity of the site. We can assist you in choosing the right remediation option for your site and the timeframe you need to achieve.
