Concawe Bulletins

CL:AIRE’s Concawe bulletins describe the deployment of sustainable remediation techniques and technologies on sites in Europe. Each bulletin includes a description of the project context and conceptual site model along with a sustainability assessment. 

These bulletins form Appendix 1 of the Concawe report - Case Studies and Analysis of Sustainable Remediation Techniques and Technologies. 

The report aims to fill in a recognised gap in the provision of detailed case studies documenting the practical implementation of sustainable remediation, and facilitate further refinement of guidance. It contains a cross comparison analysis of the ten case studies, seeking to help practitioners compare these case studies to their own projects.  The report was prepared by Rob Sweeney and Nicola Harries, CL:AIRE and Paul Bardos, r3 Environmental Technology Ltd and is available to download on the Concawe website at www.concawe.eu
