The Army Corps of Engineers hired Merit Engineering to test the integrity of a clay cap on a superfund landfill in Manchester, WA. The investigation included test borings and soil sampling in the area of concern aimed at determining the moisture content of the subgrade waste materials. With our OSHA Hazardous Materials training, we were equipped to deal with the potentially contaminated samples and any leakage from the landfill that might have occurred during the boring process.

No matter how careful locating services may be, during subsurface exploration or excavation, there is the possibility that an unknown fuel tank or other hazardous material may be encountered. Merit Engineering has the knowledge and expertise to deal with any such circumstances.
