Remediation of a disaster site and fire damage in Ludwigshafen

THERE WAS A TRAGIC ACCIDENT WITH A DEVASTATING FIRE AT AN INDUSTRIAL ESTATE NEAR LUDWIGSHAFEN LAST YEAR. THE FIRE BRIGADE BRAVELY MANAGED TO EXTINGUISH THE FLAMES.

But the PFT/PFOS used to put out the blaze entered the subsoil, necessitating the replacement of contaminated earth after completion of the structural repair and maintenance work. Around 8,000 tons of the affected soil was replaced and will be thermally treated at ARE Deutzen GmbH until the end of June.
