ARCADIS has completed or is currently executing several marginal land site vitalization projects:

• Recovered land seismic-engineering retrofit in the Persian Gulf using sophisticated geotechnical engineering evaluation for large hydraulic fills
• Use of soil stabilization/solidification techniques to convert 30 hectares (ha) of oily sediment ponds in Richmond, Calif. into useable land for typical refinery use
• Demolition/site cleanup and repair at a site in California through site remediation and civil/ecological engineering to return 2,000 ha to predevelopment, high-ecological-value, pristine habitat
• Conversion of 200 ha of a former sawmill site in northern California so that it is suitable for future residential development, including the creation of new wetlands and other habitats
• Ongoing monitoring and planning for comprehensive restoration of thousands of hectares of wetland with integrated flood control to protect residents and businesses, including human use enhancements such as access ramps, overlooks and recreational improvements, in the Delaware Estuary
• Creation of dozens of hectares of new marshland as part of the Eastern Schledt storm-surge-barrier design project
• Design of a 7-ha engineered containment facility to dispose 500,000 cubic meters of contaminated sediment, thus creating a new port facility
• Design of the closure and reclamation of two 200-ha tailing ponds in Manitoba
• Converting 10-ha former oil terminal into a waterfront residential development in East Providence, R.I.
