A LNAPL skimming remedial system is currently being installed at BP Concorde Station (the site). The site is located in Virginia, Free State. The location of the system is on the western boundary of the service station on vacant land. Geostream Africa is the subcontractor on site. Several trenches (approximately 0.9m deep) and 7 well chambers (approximately 1.2m deep) had to be excavated for the piping to be laid and well chambers to be built. During the placement of pea gravel in the trenches, the AECOM field engineer noticed an employee of Geostream shovelling pea gravel into the trench without the use of cut resistant gloves.
