Case Studies

Treasury Wine Estates is one of Australia’s largest wine producers, managing vineyards across varied soils, climates and production zones. For a business operating at this scale, small decisions in the vineyard matter. Where vines are planted. How frost damage is assessed. When grapes are picked. How field data is captured and reported. Each decision affects […]

Executive Summary   This report evaluates excavation delineation outcomes for hydrocarbon-impacted soil using a Monte Carlo simulation framework. It compares a conventional lab-only sampling workflow against a Rapid Scan (RemScan) workflow integrated with the GXLab platform. Across thousands of simulated plumes, the analysis shows that increasing vertical measurement density using low-marginal-cost Rapid Scan data materially

With significant advancements in our modeling of soil carbon in agriculture, we’re excited to share some of the next generation of developments aimed at understanding soil carbon dynamics using remote sensing…

According to the results of the site investigation, the remediation plan for the site used a combination of biological treatment, soil washing, and thermal treatment. All of the contaminated soil was excavated (down to several metres in some areas), and the appropriate remediation method was chosen based on soil texture, contaminant levels and regulatory targets.

In 2018 Cardno was contracted by a major oil company as Principal Contractor for removal of subsurface hydrocarbon contamination from a protected foreshore area in regional Victoria, Australia. Cardno is a global provider of integrated professional services. Remediation of the site was achieved by establishing an on-site sand washing plant and processing over 70,000 m³

During the emergency response, Ziltek collected soil samples and built a site-specific calibration model in the instrument to allow a rapid and accurate determination of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) C10 to C36. During subsequent remediation works, RemScan was used to measure more than 200 samples per day – this allowed the validation work to be

BACKGROUND Agriculturists are increasingly relying on data to guide land management practises. Further to this, global climate change is providing economic incentives for land owners to increase soil organic carbon stocks in soils to mitigate the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. In response to these trends, Ziltek is leveraging their expertise in hand-held Mid-Infrared

Fortescue utilises RemScan® for the rapid and accurate measurement of TPH (C10 to C40) in soil. This is preferred to off-site laboratory analysis which, in this remote and harsh environment, is logistically challenging, time-consuming and relatively costly. Fortescue uses RemScan in all aspects of their hydrocarbon management process including: Identifying and delineating spills. In addition

Enviropacific Services was engaged to manage the excavation of the contaminated soil and to validate the pit as ‘decontaminated’ before it was backfilled with clean soil. The handheld RemScan instrument was used to measure Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH) levels in the soil during the site remediation and excavation process in real-time. The levels of TPH in the worst affected areas were up

In a South Australian metropolitan location, a power transformer was vandalised, leading to a suspected leakage of transformer oil into the surrounding soil. This event necessitated removal of the transformer and inspection of the surrounding soil for contamination. This was a perfect opportunity for a real-world trial of RemScan’s Spill Response Mode, a novel technology
