Inertisation and Immobilisation
 

Especially mobile contaminants permanently pose new challenges to environmental engineering calling for new approaches. Regardless of the disposal route, mobile contaminants have to be immobilised. On site or in situ immobilisation and diagenetic inertisation are appropriate approaches.

On site immobilisation and diagenetic inertisation require the excavation of the contaminated material. After conditioning, the material can be backfilled or recycled.

In situ immobilisation can be accomplished by the Mixed-In-Place technique, for example.
