Community engagement, Crieff

Project: Crieff Gasworks Remediation As part of our community engagement plan, children from the local primary school were invited to the site. Wearing their new hi-vis vests, donated by FLI QDS, the children spent time on the site talking to the Site Manager (Darren Wood), Remediation Engineer (Ellie Cotterill) and watching the plant in operation. The visit was very much a two-way conversation with the children asking a variety of questions. Topic discussed included: history of the site, remediation, safety on construction sites, women in construction and how long it takes to set up a site office!    

The site is heavily impacted with heavy oils and hydrocarbons, cyanide and other gasworks waste. We are undertaking soil stabilisation and solidification, DNAPL recovery, thermal enhanced recovery and chemox for remediation of the soil and groundwater.
