SUSTAINABLE

The added value of our work extends beyond the provision

of services. With safety as our core value we have
uncompromisingly embraced safety within our corporate
culture. This is the essence of ‘NINA’, our No Injuries,
No Accidents safety program.
SAFE AND SUSTAINABLE

Since our very beginning the Boskalis Environmental approach

has targeted the optimization of environmental benefits, while
keeping project costs and disruption to local stakeholders at
a minimum. We have implemented this sustainable approach
by consistently aiming to achieve beneficial use of our end
products. We also work continuously on improving our
technologies and we have been relentless in our attempts
to optimize the scale of our operations.

Our Dutch soil washing locations are an excellent example of

our sustainable approach. Over a period of more than fifteen
years, half a million tons of soil have been recycled every year
at these sites, primarily by soil washing. Using an integrated
project approach, thorough prior inspections and consistently
proven technologies, we have also demonstrated our ability
to manage potential project risks.

Our operations comply with international, national, and

regional legislation and regulations regarding environmental
risks. Our environmental performance is constantly being
monitored and improved, and we proudly maintain
ISO 14001:2004 certification for our environmental
management system. Listed below are our other relevant
certifications.

‘W E MANAGE THE ENTIRE PROCESS, FROM

INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS’
CONTAMINATED SOIL TREATMENT

Boskalis Environmental is a leading contractor in the large-

scale processing, recycling and beneficial use of mineral
waste materials. Recyclable mineral waste includes
contaminated soils and sediments, railway ballast material,
street sweepings and incinerator bottom ash. The main
processing technology used is soil washing.

Our worldwide operations are typically project-driven and

involve on-site operations. We can deploy, install and operate
our mobile plants on short notice for these projects.

In the Netherlands, legislation and soil conditions have

enabled us to develop a unique and sustainable approach
based on four fixed locations for off-site operations. Clients
can deliver large and small volumes of contaminated soil to
these Soil Treatment Centers (STCs) for a fixed and
pre-determined price, including a full liability transfer. At our
Dutch STCs, more than 600,000 tons of materials are
accepted, processed and recycled annually.

CONTAMINATED
DREDGED SEDIMENT
MANAGEMENT
The large-scale processing and disposal of contaminated
dredged sediments are always challenging. Boskalis

CONTAMINATED DREDGED SEDIMENT MANAGEMENT

Environmental is particularly skilled in projects where
separation and dewatering is the optimal solution. We are
always aiming to maximize the re-use of the processed
material as aggregates, and to minimize the volume of
the contaminated residues for ultimate disposal.

Our purpose-built specialized equipment allows us to deliver

the most suitable processing options for a wide range of
different projects. The earlier we are involved in a project,
the more value we can add in addressing the challenges of
processing contaminated dredged sediment.

Depot management
Over the past twenty years, Boskalis Environmental also
specialized in the design and management of large
dredging depots (such as Confined Disposal Facilities or
CDFs). These depots are sometimes used for the temporary
storage of dredged sediments before being processed into
building material. This is often necessary in areas where
sediments cannot be processed immediately simply because
of the large quantities of dredged material.

Land remediation
Land remediation is usually part of the cleaning-up and
redevelopment of industrialized, contaminated sites:
'brownfield' sites. Boskalis Environmental is active in this type
of complex land remediation. Our customized equipment,
designed by our own engineers, enables us to implement the
best possible remediation option, if necessary including the

deployment of our mobile soil washing plants to wash the
excavated soil on site.

Riverbed remediation
Boskalis Environmental has established a worldwide
reputation in a wide range of water-based remediation
works, involving a combination of dredging, processing,
re-use and disposal.

Our clients benefit from our ability to implement the full

remediation process from the design stage right through to
execution. In many instances we have participated in risk/
reward-sharing approaches. Our early involvement in a
project helps to ensure a more comprehensive and effective
response to complex issues.

RELATED
ACTIVITES

Our knowledge and experience gained from many years

of processing of soils and sediments is also being used on
a number of related operations and activities.

Cleaning incinerator bottom ash

We have developed a treatment technology to separate
organics, salts and metals (both ferrous and nonferrous)
from incinerator bottom ash, a residual product from waste-
to-energy plants. This treatment recovers approximately 80%
of the bottom ash for unrestricted beneficial use under

RELATED ACTIVITES
Dutch regulations.

Large-scale dewatering of mine tailings

In close cooperation with Boskalis and Cofra, we are
developing sustainable dewatering processes to reclaim
large-scale tailings ponds.

Processing of tunneling muds and

drilling fluids
Muds from tunneling projects and fluids from drilling operations
are also separated and dewatered. Sandy materials are
recovered for beneficial use, while the fines are dewatered
to reduce the total weight for disposal.

Separation and grading of raw bulk

materials
Our separation technology can also be used to upgrade raw
bulk materials. An example is the development of offshore
separation and grading of phosphate rich nodules and sands
before transport to a land-based chemical processing facility.

EQUIPMENT

Our engineers have developed transportable equipment for worldwide

on-site operations using standard sized container units and skids.
Once installed and connected with each other on site, the units are
transformed into a full-scale processing plant.

Mobile Soil Washing Plant (MSWP)

Our Mobile Soil Washing Plants are constructed using approximately
25 to 30 container units with a footprint of approximately 2,500 square
meters, or slightly more than half an acre. The proven throughput
capacity is around 75 to 100 tons per hour.

Mobile Dewatering Equipment

Belt filter and membrane presses are used for our mechanical dewatering
operations. Each unit is designed to dewater approximately 5 to 15 tons
of solids per hour – depending on feed material characteristics.
EQUIPMENT

One of our Mobile Sediment Dewatering Plants operates with 4 membrane

presses and has a daily production capacity of approximately 1,000 cubic
meters.

Test and pilot equipment

We have an in-house lab for geotechnical soil investigation and
treatability tests:
‚‚ Fully equipped laboratory at our head offices in Papendrecht,
Netherlands
‚‚ Mobile lab units for on-site quality checks
‚‚ Cone Penetration Testing equipment (CPT) for stability, monitoring and
compaction testing
‚‚ Soil sampling equipment (drilling rig and vibro core)
‚‚ Containerized Dewatering Research and Test Unit (DRTU)

Whether controlling the leachability of contaminants to the groundwater

or for the production of building materials, Boskalis Environmental is
experienced in stabilizing soil or sediments with cement or other
binding agents applicable on any scale.
