Jersey Airport Remediation and the Reinstatement of the Fire Training Ground

• A long history of fire training left a legacy of hydrocarbon and foam contamination in the near surface soils. An Environmental Impact Assessment was necessary to support the planning application and a Fate and Behaviour study for the Consent to Discharge.


• Nine options were considered for the remediation design with the favoured option being encapsulation, capping and isolation.


• Following preparation of the site Remediation Contract Documents, IPM procured the contract on behalf of the client and provided Resident Engineer and Clerk of Works supervision services.


• IPM were appointed to project manage and administer the contract and provide supervision for the Reinstatement Contract phase.


• The Reinstatement Contract comprised the construction of an evaporation cell to retain and reuse precipitation falling on the site, as well as the construction and commissioning of a new dual fuelled training rig and ancillary structures.


• Both projects were completed on time and within budget.


• The entire project was shortlisted under the JeCC environmental awards.
