Since 2005, AST Environmental has specialized in remediating contaminated overburden through advanced in-situ injection. Our success comes from a unique combination of experienced field personnel, proprietary injection equipment, custom reagent strategies, and field-tested site-specific implementation methods. From saturated soils to complex unconsolidated layers, we deliver reliable results in even the most variable geologic conditions.

Precision Overburden Injection Backed by Experience

AST’s overburden injection capabilities are configured to adapt to a wide range of site conditions. We’ve completed over 500 injection projects across the U.S., Canada, and Europe—each one guided by data-driven design and field-tested methodology.

  • Custom injection planning based on qHRSC and Remedial Design Characterization
  • Surgical reagent placement using proprietary tooling and refined injection procedures
  • In-house fabricated electric injection systems designed for flexibility and control
  • Compatibility with slurries >30% solids, oxidizers, reducers, and emulsified amendments
  • Flow rates adjustable from <5 gpm to 70 gpm to suit site-specific formation properties
  • Real-time parameter monitoring and QA/QC for reagent distribution verification

We tailor our approach to lithology, injection depth, and chemistry to ensure optimal performance in both fine-grained and high-permeability overburden.

Why AST’s Overburden Injection Works

Overburden remediation isn’t one-size-fits-all. AST’s approach stands out because we:

  • Design for complexity: Custom systems allow us to adapt to soil variability on the fly
  • Deliver with precision: Narrow-zone targeting ensures reagents reach impacted intervals
  • Optimize chemistry: Selection and dosing are fine-tuned based on real-time site data
  • Minimize waste: Controlled flow and pressure prevent over-application or loss to non-target zones
  • Support closure: Performance data and distribution verification reduce regulatory friction

Whether you’re facing petroleum hydrocarbons, chlorinated solvents, or emerging contaminants, AST’s overburden injection service gets treatment to the contaminant—and moves your site toward closure faster.
