The New Royal Alberta Museum (RAM) Building is scheduled for completion in late 2016. This presentation provides an overview of the environmental assessment and remedial approach used for this challenging project. The RAM building footprint covers the majority of the former Canada Post Main Post Office building which was demolished as part of the RAM construction. Historical environmental concerns included former fuel tanks, a service station and dry cleaning facility located within the RAM building footprint. Hydrocarbon-impacted soils and groundwater were encountered at depths of up to 28 m below ground surface. The remedial approach selected for the site included a combination of selective soil excavation and risk management of deeper impacts.
