Varbergs kommun: Kvarteret Renen investigation, risk assessment and remediation design, Varberg
One of Sweden's most contaminated industrial properties, where chlorinated solvents have polluted soil, groundwater and bedrock. Relement has investigated the site, assessed risk and designed remediation for Varberg municipality, with over SEK 150 million in state grants.
The challenge
Historic use of chlorinated solvents caused extensive contamination of soil, groundwater and crystalline bedrock at Kvarteret Renen in central Varberg. No party responsible for the contamination has been identified.
What we did
Relement investigated the site in several rounds for Varbergs kommun. Extensive preparatory investigations were carried out to inform the design and sizing of remediation measures.
Outcome
Naturvårdsverket awarded just over SEK 150 million in government funding for design and remediation.
