Free Session Proposal
Duration:
90 Minutes
The use of the TRIAD approach to investigate contaminated sites has increased over the past years in Europe. The TRIAD approach aims at achieving a greater sample density and real- time analyses with systematic planning and dynamic work strategies. One of the overall objectives is to minimize the number of field campaigns and to reduce nuisances for the property owner by assuring more rapid investigations.
During this session experiences with the TRIAD approach will be presented and discussed. Further on the program: pros and cons for using TRIAD, challenges, contaminants that are most suitable for TRIAD investigations, constraints in suitability depending on the type of investigation to be carried out i.e. when is the TRIAD approach suitable for delineating a groundwater plume, for carrying out initial soil investigations or for more complex investigations, quality of TRIAD investigations compared to traditional investigations, use of elements of the TRIAD approach in traditional investigations.

Background
The use of the TRIAD approach to investigate contaminated sites has increased over the past years in Europe. The TRIAD approach aims at achieving a greater sample density and real-time analyses with systematic planning and dynamic work strategies. One of the overall objectives is to minimize the number of field campaigns and to reduce nuisances for the property owner by assuring more rapid investigations.
Content
The aim of the workshop is to give European investigators and regulators a unique opportunity to share experiences with the TRIAD approach across borders, to discuss suitable technologies, opportunities and constraints, and if TRIAD elements should be integrated in more traditional types of investigations. Discussions will be initiated by brief presentations on the characteristics of the TRIAD approach, challenges when using the approach, and the type of contaminants most suitable for TRIAD investigations. We will also discuss constraints in suitability depending on the type of investigation to be carried out i.e. when is the TRIAD approach suitable for delineating a groundwater plume, for carrying out initial soil investigations or for more complex investigations. We will also discuss the quality of TRIAD investigations compared to traditional investigations, and if it is advantageous to use elements of the TRIAD approach in traditional investigations.
