In redeveloping a site adjacent to the Seattle Center grounds as the location of their new headquarters campus, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation negotiated a property transfer that obligated the Seattle Center to address groundwater remediation of the former vehicle maintenance site. Helping the Seattle Center meet the groundwater remediation obligations, Aspect led the groundwater assessment and remediation efforts with an emphasis on integrating cleanup into the redevelopment plans, designing a full-scale air sparging (AS) and soil vapor extraction (SVE) remediation system for phased installation. The first phase of AS/SVE was successfully installed in the pre-construction footprint and operated while the campus design and permitting process was completed. The second phase of the remedial system was installed within the active excavation footprint. By integrating the remediation system into the campus design, the second phase of the remedial action was designed to continue once the structure was completed.
