Introduction
"No net land take by 2050" was announced by the European Union Commission in 2011 to achieve a balance between the amount of land taken for various purposes, such as urban development, infrastructure, agriculture, etc., and the amount of land that is restored or offset to maintain a neutral or zero net change in land use and to protect biodiversity.
Discover how our subsidiary, Kruger, is working with Kvarnholmen Utveckling AB, a high-end property developer from Sweden, to transform a former industrial harbor in Stockholm into a high-end residential area.
Originally, the site had contaminated soil containing Perchloroethylene (or PCE), a chlorinated solvent, posing a challenge to the development plans.
To ensure a successful clean-up within a reasonable timeframe, they chose our Thermal Conductive Heating (TCH) soil remediation technology to effectively heat the entire granite volume, leaving no contaminated soil untreated.
Despite the complexity of the project, including contamination spread and the construction of a road and bridge through the treatment area, the remediation was successful, enabling the development of luxurious apartments on the island of Kvarnholmen.
