MGP Site Remediation in Action, Case Studies and Lessons Learned

The true test of any remediation technology is how it performs under real site conditions. In this case study-based webinar, you’ll explore how thermal remediation has been applied to address complex coal tar impacts at former manufactured gas plant (MGP) sites.

Through multiple project examples, our experts will walk through the full lifecycle of ISTR applications, including site conditions, technology selection, system design, operational performance, and final outcomes. The discussion highlights how teams navigated challenging subsurface conditions, managed large contaminant mass, and adapted to unexpected field realities. 

This session focuses on practical insights you can apply directly to your work, whether you are evaluating thermal remediation or refining your approach to complex site remediation. 

By attending, you will learn how to: 

  • Evaluate ISTR performance across a range of MGP site conditions 
  • Connect site data to effective technology selection and system design 
  • Anticipate and respond to field challenges during implementation 
  • Apply lessons learned to improve project outcomes and decision‑making 
  • Benchmark real‑world performance to support defensible remediation strategies 

This session focuses on practical insights you can apply directly to your work, whether you are evaluating thermal remediation or refining your approach to complex site remediation. It provides a detailed look at how ISTR performs under real-world conditions to support more informed and defensible remediation decisions.
