Abstract
The majority of contaminated site characterizations are still performed with conventional GIS and CAD tools, essentially working in two dimensions. Few characterizations employ geostatistical analysis or prediction techniques. The following study of subsurface soil contamination illustrates the advantages of using an integrated 3D approach. As a result, both environmental risk and remediation cost are substantially reduced.
