Project Summary

Land Remediation, Inc. was selected as the remedial contractor for this complex environmental cleanup project along the Hudson River, working in partnership with AECOM and BASF as part of a design/build team. The project involved the installation of more than 500 linear feet of new steel sheet pile bulkhead with tie-backs and anchoring systems to stabilize the shoreline and support dredging operations. A 430-foot-long Temporary Fabric Structure (TFS) was constructed on-site to enclose sediment processing operations and effectively manage odors. Over 40,000 cubic yards of contaminated sediment were mechanically dredged from the Hudson River and categorized into four distinct waste classifications: TSCA, TSCA/RCRA, RCRA, and Non-Hazardous. Sediment was loaded into hopper barges and transferred to the TFS for stabilization, characterization, and off-site disposal in accordance with federal and state regulations. Once dredging was complete, the riverbed was restored through the placement of clean backfill, forming a permanent cap system over any low level residual contamination to ensure long-term environmental protection.
