Manufactured Gas Plant (MGP) Remediation

Since the mid-1980s, GZA has worked on MGPs in settings ranging from small facilities in remote locations to substantial facilities in densely populated urban areas adjacent to marine and freshwater environments. From karst, to bedrock, to clay, to sand, and sediment, each MGP site presents its own set of surface and subsurface challenges. These must be understood in the context of former operations to develop effective conceptual site models both for investigation and remediation. We use our deep geotechnical, hydrogeological and remediation engineering skills, coupled with our understanding of historical MGP processes, operations and by-product management, to focus on effective investigation and remedial alternatives.
