Technical Environmental Investigation of Pukeberg
Kalmar, Sweden,
June 2011
DGE has successfully tendered for and won a contract to deliver site investigation work for the main study of Pukeberg’s Glass Factory in Nybro Municipality. Pukeberg is one of Sweden’s oldest glass factories, founded in 1871. The project is mostly grant funded by the Swedish EPA, but also by Nybro Municipality.
So far, the project has included drilling and digging for 80 sampling points in the area. Part of the work has been to delineate the large glass landfill where improperly handled or broken glass was deposited. In addition to soil sampling, surface water in nearby streams and groundwater has also been sampled.
Field measurements of all the items and building materials have been conducted using an XRF nstrument that gives a very good indication if any contamination or metals have been found.
