Cleanup sediment treatment, Fox river

As a result of industrialization the riverbed of the Fox River (Wisconsin, USA) had become contaminated with PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls). Joining together a number of large paper mills based on the banks of the river have established the Fox River Cleanup Group to handle the remediation project. The site is on the federal Superfund program’s National Priorities List.

Channel expansion, Suez

The Suez Canal is one of the world’s main shipping links and thus of major importance to world trade. The canal extends from Suez on the Red Sea to Port Said on the Mediterranean. Egypt’s Suez Canal Authority awarded the contract to double the canal’s capacity to a consortium, which was aptly named the Challenge Consortium by the Chairman of the Suez Canal Authority, Admiral Mohab Mamish.
