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. This resulted in a large volume of excess soil. The excess soil was stockpiled in a designated area. The soil stockpile had a height of above 1.8m. The soil was loose and was sliding down. This was observed as a hazard.  The AECOM field engineer informed the Geostream H&S supervisor on site who in turn requested the TLB operator to lower the height of the stockpile.
Hazard category: Non Hazard
