The Service Providers subgroup, SPG
Login

In February 2000 the service providers in the NICOLE network formed their own subgroup, the Service Providers subGroup (SPG). This subgroup consists of members active as consultants, contractors and technology suppliers in remediation and investigation of soil and groundwater. Its members are drawn from consultancies, contractors and other technology providers who are directly involved with contaminated land remediation, Europe-wide.

The NICOLE Service Providers Group is steadily growing with new. All SPG members together form a large “body of knowledge”. In the open atmosphere of the NICOLE network this knowledge is disseminated.

The SPG meets in conjunction with the NICOLE workshops held twice annually and in technical meetings between the NICOLE workshops. These technical meetings typically consist of a visit to a technical facility in the morning and a meeting of the SPG in the afternoon. The most recent meeting was held in Gothenburg, Sweden , on the themes Redevelopment of Derelict Industrial Land and Soil Pollution in Slide-Sensitive Areas illustrated by the redevelopment of the former shipyard areas in central Gothenburg and the conditions in the Göta älv river valley. In addition, a visit was paid to Akzo’s plant north of Gothenburg where a thermal desorption plant for remediation of mercury and dioxin contaminated soil operates.

The chairman of SPG is currently Bertil Grundfelt (Kemakta, Sweden ) and vice chairman is Laurent Bakker (Tauw, the Netherlands ).

Secretary of the group is Elze-Lia Visser.

The SPG mission statement is:

The Service Providers sub-group of NICOLE is a network for open communication of knowledge and information on the practical implementation of innovative ideas and technologies, for the management of industrially contaminated land. The SPG provides the opportunity for Europe-wide collaboration and cooperation, to ensure synergy in the delivery of cost-effective, quality assured and sustainable solutions.
