Foster Wheeler Italiana Wins Mercurio Soil Remediation Contract

Foster Wheeler Italiana S.p.A. has been awarded a contract by Mercurio S.r.l. for engineering, procurement, subcontract activities and field supervision related to the soil remediation of a decommissioned former tank farm in Naples, Italy.

Mercurio is a company belonging to the Zunino Group, one of the major real estate groups in Italy. Zunino is developing several industrial projects in Italy and abroad, some of which are being designed by well-known architects Norman Foster and Renzo Piano.

The soil remediation will be undertaken using landfarming, an aboveground soil remediation technology that reduces concentrations of petroleum constituents through biodegradation, while at the same time minimising the risk of possible contamination outside the property limits.

After completion of the remediation works, the former tank farm area will be re-used for the construction of a new commercial centre.

"This award is a further confirmation of the expertise that Foster Wheeler Italiana has demonstrated in the successful remediation of the former Rho-Pero refinery, which has become the new permanent home of the Milan Fair," said Andrea Fava, director of the Environmental Division of Foster Wheeler Italiana.
