Using Conceptual Site Models to Guide Thermal Technology Choice

February 26, 2025 | 10:00 AM Pacific / 1:00 PM Eastern

In this second webinar of our series, “The Nuts and Bolts of Thermal Remediation,” we will take a deep dive into evaluating a site’s Conceptual Site Model (CSM) and selecting the optimal technologies and approach to achieve remedial objectives.

We will review the primary thermal technologies, detailing how each works, and discussing their advantages and limitations across a range of geologic and hydrogeologic conditions, including clay, silts, sands, gravels, bedrock, and varying groundwater flow.

Next, we will outline the key data from a site's CSM that determines technology selection, including:

• COC(s) chemical and physical properties
• Remediation goals
• Depth and volume of contamination
• Geology and groundwater flow
• Presence of underground structures or utilities
• Geotechnical considerations

Finally, we will explore how high resolution site characterization (HRSC) and precise source zone delineation can streamline your project, reduce costs, and ensure successful cleanup outcomes.
