Project Summary

LAND Remediation served as a remedial construction subcontractor to GEI Consultants for the completion of a 100 percent design and permitting package for the Gastown MGP Site and adjacent Tonawanda Creek. The program included abatement and demolition of on-site structures, ISS of 15,000 cy of upland soils, dredging, stabilization and backfill of sediments within Tonawanda Creek, installation of three one-pass collection trenches (subcontracted to DeWind), installation of vertical soil mix compression ring around the former gas holder to serve as on-site repository for creek sediments, restoration of Tonawanda Creek banks, and extensive pedestrian/traffic control and utility relocation to maintain access to active tenants during remediation. LRI self-performed 85 percent of the work including treatability testing to support the ISS work.
