Rising to the Challenge A remediation project required a unique solution by South Jersey Gas

摘要

South Jersey Gas recently completed an unusual remediation of a manufactured gas site in southern New Jersey that required building an 80-foot-deep underground containment wall that passed through an active railroad track,not once but twice.Railroad owner Conrail required the utility to complete construction on a highly accelerated schedule over just two weekends-which South Jersey Gas successfully did.SJI,the utility's holding company,which oversees environmental remediation activities for South Jersey Gas’long-inactive manufactured gas plant sites,partnered with GZA GeoEnvironmental Inc.for the design,construction management and installation of the wall,built to mitigate environmental concerns at the Glassboro,New Jersey,site.SJI began the current phase of remediation in 2018,with a comprehensive understanding of the unique challenges associated with the project,SJG Environmental Manager Ken Sheppard told American Gas.
