Ground Investigation at Benbecula Airport Fuel Storage Compound
Targeted soil investigation at a disused jet-fuel storage compound to inform decommissioning and remediation decisions for Loganair.
The Project
In September 2023, EnviroSolution was engaged by Loganair to assess potential ground contamination at a disused jet-fuel storage compound within Benbecula Airport. The investigation was required to establish whether historic fuel storage had affected the ground and to inform decommissioning requirements.
The Challenge
The work needed to delineate any contamination associated with the former fuel-storage use while working within an operational airport environment.
The Solution
EnviroSolution mobilised within one week and completed a targeted soil-sampling investigation using trial pits across the compound. Representative soil samples were analysed for a suite of chemical contaminants to clarify the nature and extent of any impact.
The Benefit
An interpretive report provided Loganair with clear conclusions and recommendations for remedial requirements, supporting informed decommissioning and remediation decisions.
