INTRODUCTION TO S/S TREATMENT
Boudreault et al National Workshop on Marine Infrastructure, February 3, 2016
S/S TREATMENT • Consists of incorporating a binding reagent (e.g. cement), water and
additives into the contaminated material to render it environmentally safe (immobilization of contaminants)
DOUBLE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION • Stabilization: chemical changes that reduce the solubility of
contaminants • Solidification: physical changes leading to encapsulation of the soil
in a cement matrix, reduction of its hydraulic conductivity and an increase in its strength

INTRODUCTION TO S/S TREATMENT
Boudreault et al National Workshop on Marine Infrastructure, February 3, 2016
S/S TREATMENT HAS BEEN USED FOR OVER 50 YEARS • 1950s for treatment of radioactive waste; • 1970s for treatment of hazardous waste.
S/S TREATMENT IS PROVEN FOR SEVERAL TYPES OF MATRICES • Soils, sediments, sludge, residual materials.
S/S IS APPLIED IN MANY COUNTRIES • Canada, United States, Europe (France, United Kingdom, Netherlands, etc.)
S/S TREATMENT IS DEMONSTRATED FOR SEVERAL TYPES OF CONTAMINANTS • Metal contamination (main use); • Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs); • Persistent organics: polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dioxins and furans; • Tar, refinery residues, etc.

PAVEMENT THICKNESS • Very high costs for construction of the new port pavement
- Costs related to soil excavation
- Costs related to burial of contaminated soil
- Costs related to importing of a considerable quantity of granular materials
PROPOSED SOLUTION: Reuse of contaminated soil as a subbase material following solidification/stabilization (S/S) treatment

- CONSIDERABLE SAVINGS ON AN ENTIRE PROJECT - Estimated at approximately $2.1 million by the Port of Montreal (over a project phase of
approximately $5 million) for redevelopment of the Viau Sector
- CONSTRUCTION OF A DURABLE PAVEMENT - Increase in the structural strength of the foundation of the port pavement compared
to a conventional pavement
- Increase in the pavement’s lifespan (increased number of admissible trips)
- SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF CONTAMINATED SOIL
- Safe on site reclamation of contaminated soil
- Long-term control of the risks of migration of contamination
- Reduction of transport and off site burial of contaminated soil
- Minimization of importing of clean (and/or granular) materials for backfilling
- Reduction of transport-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
