ANGEL Ambiental has signed a contract to work for Vale, one of the biggest mining companies in the world, to deliver environmental assessments and remediation for the Vitoria-Minas Railway. The railway is 1,000 km long (crossing two States) and is the biggest operating railway in Brazil for raw material exportation, mainly iron ore.
The contract, worth a total amount of R$13 million (Brazilian Reais) (U$7.9million) has been ongoing since April 2010, and is due to be completed in 2015.
Angel has already installed four remediation systems in sites located along the railway, in Espirito Santo and Minas Gerais States. Angel is using techniques including pump and treat, Multi Phase Extraction (MPE), Vapor Extraction (SVE) and Air Sparging (AS) to address some of the contaminated areas by VOC and SVOC.
Over the next four years, several site assessments and monitoring will be conducted by Angel and further remediation systems will be implemented. Vale requires Angel to ensure goal achievements for each site, and demonstrate continuous improvement in delivering the work and service quality as the project develops.
Rivaldo Mello, Director at Angel said; 'to be a part of the Inogen Environmental Alliance makes us confident to be able to work with Vale, using best practice and taking advice from our Inogen peers. I'm proud to be in charge of this project.'
