Land recycling and reuse of soil

Our soil is a valuable resource whose consumption we should curb by making brownfield sites usable again as a priority. Land recycling is a hot topic and we offer the necessary techniques for this: from soil-washing for PFAS-contaminated soils to soil replacement processes and in-situ methods, including the disposal of contaminated materials. We also have extensive experience in biological and thermal soil treatment.

An overview of projects in this service area

Landfill remediation, disposal

ZÜBLIN Umwelttechnik has acquired unique know-how through its leading technical involvement in the major Swiss projects for the total remediation of the Kölliken hazardous waste landfill, the Bonfol industrial waste landfill, the Monthey chemical industry landfill and the French Hüningen landfill, and has also made an excellent name for itself internationally. Technically sophisticated special solutions for working safely in highly contaminated areas include

  • Docking stations for construction devices
  • Material and personnel airlock systems
  • Retrofitting of construction equipment with measuring technology and filter devices as well as external air-independent breathing air supply
  • Remote-controlled construction equipment
  • Online measurement technology with gas chromatography in construction site operation
  • and much more.

PFAS soil-washing

ZÜBLIN Umwelttechnik has many years of experience with soil washing, especially with PFAS (perfluorinated and polyfluorinated alkyl substances), which are known as perpetual chemicals. Plant technology and operating processes have been continuously improved, enabling us to further expand our position as market leader in this technology in Germany. The current volume of 800,000 tons of soil successfully cleaned up speaks for itself. These soils have been decontaminated to such an extent that they can be reused as backfill material.

We will be happy to examine your specific case of damage and offer you tailor-made solutions depending on the size of the project (10,000 m³ to >>100,000 m³), the level of contamination and the nature of the soil. We can draw on a wide range of equipment sizes and types from our rental equipment pool at short notice and guarantee rapid and cost-effective processing.
