Sediment Capping Technologies

Solutions for in-situ capping of contaminated sediments

 

CETCO provides a range of solutions for remediation of contaminated sediments. Contaminants may be treated in-situ, reducing risks and project costs. Depending on the site conditions traditional sand caps may prove unfeasible, or result in an excessively thick design. Sediment capping technologies provided by CETCO address concerns about navigation, placement, biointrusion and flow patterns. Active cap designs incorporate active or adsorptive media to capture or treat the contaminants and result in a reduced thickness of the cap design.

    Overview

    Addressing challenging erosion conditions

    In-situ cap must be designed to ensure protection from erosion for waves, currents, storms or ice. CETCO offers the Triton Marine Mattress system for maximum protection from erosion conditions. This system can be combined with either active capping or traditional capping materials.

     

    Benefits of utilizing CETCO technologies

    • Reactive capping media available in either bulk or as a reactive mat allowing for wider variety of application methods
    • Combinations of reactive core materials allow for a wide range of treatable contaminants Adsorptive capacity reduces required cap thickness, thus increasing navigable depth when compared to traditional methods
    • Composite layer stabilizes sediments, minimizing re-suspension and reducing downstream impact
    • Consistent sheet size allows for highly accurate placement and maximum coverage
    • Product properties insure verifiable coverage of sediments due to fully contained, defined mass per area of reactive material
    • Reduces multi-step dredging process into fast, easily adjustable, consistent installation
    • Reductions in volume of capping material needed combined with speed of installation offer significant economic benefit

    REACTIVE CORE MAT® with ORGANOCLAY™
    REACTIVE CORE MAT is a patented permeable composite mat consisting of reactive material(s) encapsulated in a non-woven core matrix bound between two geotextiles. The upper geotextile is a needle-punched, non-woven fabric that is heat-laminated to a matrix of nonwoven fibers needle-punched into a woven geotextile. Through its innovative processing, RCM can combine two active materials, if required.
