THE CHALLENGE: Fifty-five years of car production history in Warsaw. Since the 1950s, car parts and components have been produced at FSO's Warsaw site. Over the years, production process waste was stored on-site, releasing contaminants into the soil and groundwater. Now that the factory is closed, all that remains is a useless property, ready to be cleaned up. The site is earmarked for housing development. But what surprises will the industrial legacy bring? Is it worthwhile to redevelop if remediation costs are higher than expected?

THE APPROACH: The ARCADIS GRiP® concept proves its value again. Clean up of the site is performed under our guaranteed remediation program (GRiP®), providing our client instantly with trust. A fixed price is agreed upon for all remediation costs, including any arsing from hidden or unexpected contamination that might be detected later. An insurance policy covers all of these possible risks. An innovative in-situ soil remediation technique quickly and thoroughly cleans up the contamination, making the site ready for a new future - to welcome new inhabitants.

THE RESULT: Clean soil for the new generation. A playground for our children. The start of a new history.
