CRC CARE’s Department of Defence demonstration program focuses on
laboratory and 
field-based investigation of potentially contaminated sites, and
the validation of innovative technologies developed for their assessment and
remediation. The program uses interdisciplinary methodologies to arrive at solutions
for the complex environmental problems affecting a range of sites across
Australia.
Projects
CRC CARE’s Defence program
undertakes a
wide range of projects, including:
- Bioremediation of TCE-contaminated groundwater (Edinburgh Defence
Precinct, SA)
- Remediation of hydrocarbon contamination in former fuel farms (RAAF
Williamtown, NSW)
- Aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) remediation
- Permeable reactive barrier for treating TCE-contaminated
groundwater (Edinburgh)
- Surfactant enhanced in-situ chemical oxidation (S-ISCO) and
enhanced bioremediation of volatile organic compounds (Edinburgh)
- Modified natural clays for remediation of hazardous substances
- Development of national technical guidance for permeable reactive
barriers
- In situ chemical stabilisation of shooting range soils
- Modular subsurface vapour intrusion model for management and
remediation of potentially contaminated sites.
