Spill Remediation
Ges/edac provides comprehensive spill remediation services addressing soil, water, and vapor contamination. Our team analyzes spill characteristics to determine optimal solutions, including contaminated soil removal, in situ bioremediation, and vapor extraction. We monitor sites until regulatory compliance is achieved while coordinating with DEQ and other agencies. Our emergency response team operates 24/7 with specialized equipment to contain and remediate petroleum and hazardous material spills.
Tank Removal
We offer complete underground and above-ground fuel tank removal services with regulatory compliance assurance. Our process includes tank testing, soil sampling, and responsible disposal while minimizing property disruption. Certified technicians handle all aspects from excavation to final site restoration. We coordinate regulatory reporting and documentation to ensure proper closure of petroleum storage systems in residential and commercial settings.
Environmental Site Assessment
Our environmental site assessments identify potential contamination through detailed testing and analysis. Using advanced drilling technologies, we evaluate soil and groundwater conditions to develop customized remediation plans. The assessments help property owners understand environmental risks and comply with regulatory requirements. We provide comprehensive reporting and remediation recommendations tailored to each property's unique geology and contamination issues.
Foam In Place
Ges/edac specializes in foam-in-place tank abandonment as a cost-effective alternative to removal. Our minimally invasive process fills tanks with expanding foam through existing access points, eliminating the need for extensive excavation. This method complies with Virginia's building code requirements while preserving landscaping and structures. The procedure typically completes within 2-3 hours with minimal property impact compared to traditional removal methods.
Emergency Spill Response
Our 24/7 emergency spill response team provides rapid containment and remediation services. OSHA-certified technicians arrive within hours using dedicated response units equipped for hazardous material handling. We implement immediate safety measures, contain spread, and begin remediation while coordinating with local fire departments and DEQ. The service includes post-cleanup monitoring well installation and ongoing contamination testing to ensure complete environmental restoration.

Questions
What should I do if I suspect a tank leak?
Contact GES immediately for assessment. We'll determine if regulatory reporting is required based on contamination levels and guide you through remediation options.
How does Virginia's Petroleum Storage Tank Fund help with cleanup costs?
The VPSTF covers residential cleanups with a $500 deductible, excluding negligence cases. We help navigate insurance claims and cost management for spill remediation.
What factors affect spill remediation project duration?
Project timelines depend on contamination severity, human health risks, and environmental factors. Solutions range from one-month interventions to multi-year monitoring programs.
Are GES services affiliated with government agencies?
GES is a private consulting firm that works directly for clients. While experts in environmental regulations, we maintain complete independence from government agencies like EPA or DEQ.
Can GES manage entire environmental projects?
Yes, we offer turn-key solutions coordinating all aspects including subcontractors. Clients receive single-point communication while we handle regulatory compliance and project execution.
What's the difference between tank removal and foam-in-place abandonment?
Foam-in-place is less disruptive and economical for underground tanks, while removal is preferred for above-ground systems. We recommend solutions based on tank type, location, and regulatory requirements.
