On September 3 2018, eOde organised an introductive short course on geostatistics applied to contaminated sites with the companies DMR and Geovariances, in the context of the nordic meeting on contaminated sites NORDROCS. Around 30 persons involved in the management and remediation of contaminated sites in Danemark, Norway, Sweden and Finland attended the seminar. [...]
From July to September 2018, the freelance consultant expert in environmental microbiology Sonia Tarnawski, made assays for eOde to assess the potential of biodegradation of chlorinated compounds in a contaminated site, at the in situ remediation pilot scaling stage. Various substrates were tested on groundwater and solid matrix samples from the chloroethene-contaminated site, to [...]
eOde is implied in the european JURAD-BAT Interreg project, in collaboration with the HEIA-Fribourg (TRANSFORM institute), on behalf of the Federal office of public health (Radioprotection section). Started in 2016, this french-swiss project aims at better managing the risk of radon and indoor air quality in the new buildings and during energy retrofits. In this [...]
The CHLOROKARST project comes to an end with the Conference "Polluted sites on karst aquifers" organised by the CHYN for the FOEN on 28 June, and the publication by the FOEN of the guide "Assessment of polluted sites in karst environment", as well as the expert report "Investigation tools for polluted sites in karst [...]
In partnership with Soleo Services, eOde will present the conditions for geostatistically assessing the effectiveness of an in situ thermal desorption of a chlorinated hydrocarbons contaminated site, at the annual Chloronet technical day organized by the FOEN. The benefits of geostatistics for assessing and reducing costs of contaminated sites remediation will be shown at [...]
How to reduce the gap between predictions of the amounts of soil requiring remediation - at the diagnostic stage - and those that are actually cleaned up at the remediation stage? This is the main issue that professionals have to face in a large number of brownfields regeneration projects. A study was funded by the [...]
eOde will present the results of passive sampling of 17 springs in the Jura region, at the Intersol conference in Lyon, on 16 March 2017 and at the Aquaconsoil conference in Lyon, on 28 June 2017. Sorbicell passive samplers were exposed during 2 months-periods in karst springs, that are supposed to be hydraulically connected [...]
The 8th edition of the eOde-Geovariances seminar (3nd swiss edition) will be held at the University of Neuchâtel. This one day course is designed for professionals aiming at best knowing the possibilities brought by geostatistics to characterize contaminated sites and soils. It can be integrated in the preparation of the [...]
Courses "a la carte" are adjusted to your needs and level of expertise. As an example, a specific training session will be organized on 24 January 2017 for the national research center NCCR On the move dedicated to the migration and mobility studies, managed by the University of Neuchâtel. The course will be delivered [...]
eOde perfomed in 2015 a study for the RECORD association in partnership with Geovariances. It consisted of comparing the volumes of soil estimated at the end of the investigation stage, to the really excavated polluted volumes recorded at the end of a cleanup process, for 23 real case studies. The purpose was to identify the [...]
