What LDD does
LDD Advanced Technologies Ltd. is an Israel-based environmental engineering firm founded in 1989 by Dr. Rapi Mandelbaum, providing end-to-end soil and groundwater remediation services across site characterization, risk assessment, remediation design and execution, regulatory liaison, and post-remediation monitoring. The company operates a broad technology portfolio spanning in-situ (bio-augmentation, chemical oxidation/reduction, air sparging, thermal desorption), on-site (biological treatment via subsidiary BIOSOIL), and ex-situ treatment methods, with additional differentiated capabilities including PFAS thermal destruction (via partnership with Haemers Technologies), nano-bubble water treatment (Nano+/FiltoPlex), and advanced AMS Direct Push drilling (via subsidiary Bioterra).
The business operates a project-based B2B professional services model, generating revenue through multi-year contracts with government ministries (Ministry of Environmental Protection, Ministry of Defense, Water Authority, Tel Aviv Municipality), defense industry clients (Rafael, IDF bases), large industrial and energy operators (Teva, Eshkol Power Station, KSA/EAPC pipeline), public transit (Egged, Dan), and real estate developers (Shikun & Binui, Hila Group, RAMI urban renewal). Pricing is custom-quoted per project, and LDD notably offers Fixed-Cost/Fixed-Timeline remediation commitments to real estate developers. The firm has four wholly-owned subsidiaries — LDDWJ (groundwater dewatering JV with UK-based WJ Groundwater), BIOSOIL (licensed biological treatment facility operating 17+ years), Bioterra (environmental drilling), and Nano+ (nano-bubble systems) — and exclusive representation agreements with several international laboratories (Element-Jones, Beacon, TestAmerica, SIREM).
LDD is the self-described leading remediation firm in Israel, employing 70+ staff across parent and subsidiaries, with prior international project execution in Jordan, Honduras, Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Sri Lanka. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, and its primary go-to-market relies on direct enterprise field sales, public tender participation, and professional referrals from law firms and environmental consultants.

Products and services
- Environmental Consulting Services Strategic environmental consulting services including Israeli RBCA (Risk-Based Corrective Action) surveys, environmental due diligence for transactions, expert testimony for legal proceedings, feasibility studies for real estate projects, accompaniment through building permit processes, and EHS environmental audits.
- Soil Surveys Comprehensive subsurface mapping to identify contaminants, determine soil structure, and assess pollution levels in accordance with regulatory standards. Determines contamination type, depth, concentration, and vertical/horizontal spread for site characterization.
- Groundwater Surveys Professional hydrogeological procedures to characterize water quality, water table depth, and flow directions in aquifers for environmental management, plume mapping, and remediation planning.
- Soil Gas Treatment and Vapor Intrusion Prevention Sub-slab ventilation systems, vapor barriers, and soil gas treatment to prevent hazardous gas intrusion into buildings at contaminated sites.
- Groundwater Remediation Hydrogeological-engineering procedures to treat contaminants in aquifers and prevent their spread, using pump-and-treat, chemical treatment, bioremediation (including bio-augmentation), air sparging, and SVE (soil vapor extraction) techniques.
- In-Situ Remediation Below-surface treatment of contaminated soils and groundwater without excavation, using controlled injection of materials, gases, or energy directly into the subsurface.
- On-Site Soil Remediation Treatment of contaminated soil within site boundaries rather than transport to off-site facilities, using biological, physical, and chemical methods. Provides 30-50% cost savings versus excavation-and-landfill approaches and avoids logistics and security risks of moving contaminated soil.
- Ex-Situ Soil Remediation Excavation and transport of contaminated soil to dedicated treatment facilities — primarily BIOSOIL's licensed biological treatment facility in Kibbutz Nitzan — for controlled processes to neutralize contaminants.
- Thermal Treatment Thermal desorption for treating contaminated soils, effective for volatile organic compounds, semi-volatile compounds, petroleum hydrocarbons, pesticides, and mercury. Includes in-situ thermal treatment via heated wells and ex-situ thermal treatment via partnership with Haemers Technologies (Belgium) capable of completely destroying PFAS ('forever chemicals') rather than transferring them to filters.
- Injections (ISCO, ISCR, Bio-Augmentation) Injection services for in-situ remediation including chemical oxidation (ISCO), chemical reduction (ISCR), and bio-augmentation treatments injected directly into contaminated aquifers.
- GIS Mapping Geographic Information System mapping including processing and analysis of spatial phenomena at national, regional, and site-specific levels for site characterization, plume mapping, and regulatory reporting.
- Groundwater Dewatering Controlled groundwater level management through pumping and well systems to support construction and infrastructure projects, delivered through the LDDWJ joint venture with WJ Groundwater (UK).
- Laboratory Services for Environmental Analysis Environmental analysis for air, soil, and groundwater through partnerships with internationally accredited laboratories including Element-Jones, Beacon Environmental, TestAmerica, and SIREM, providing ISO 17025 accreditation under Israeli, EU (EEA), and US (EPA) standards.

- Haemers TechnologiesflagshipLDD partners with Haemers Technologies of Belgium for advanced thermal treatment of contaminated soils, particularly for PFAS ('forever chemicals') and persistent organic pollutants. Haemers Technologies received the Changemakers Award in 2026 for its contribution to environmental remediation. The partnership enables LDD to offer in-situ and ex-situ thermal desorption capable of complete mineralization of persistent contaminants — a differentiated capability not widely available in Israel.
- WJ Groundwater (UK)coreLDD formed a joint venture LDDWJ with UK-based WJ Groundwater to provide comprehensive groundwater lowering services for the construction and infrastructure sector. The JV combines WJ Groundwater's British expertise in groundwater management with LDD's Israeli regulatory knowledge and hydrogeological capabilities. LDDWJ operates on light rail projects and diverse real estate developments including high-rises and urban renewal (TAMA 38) projects.
- FiltoPlex (Nano+ joint venture)flagshipLDD partnered with FiltoPlex's advanced technology to create Nano+ (Nanoplus), which develops and manufactures nano-bubble systems for water purification and wastewater treatment. Nano+ improves water and wastewater treatment processes and makes them more efficient and economical. The proprietary nano-bubble generators with advanced sensors set new standards for treating various types of liquids at scale.
- BIOSOIL (Subsidiary)coreBIOSOIL is a wholly-owned subsidiary of LDD and a pioneer in biological treatment of hazardous organic waste in Israel, operating a licensed treatment facility in Kibbutz Nitzan for 17+ years. BIOSOIL has treated hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of hazardous organic waste from diverse contamination sources, serving clients across Israel. BIOSOIL serves as LDD's dedicated ex-situ biological treatment facility.
- Bioterra (Subsidiary)coreBioterra specializes in environmental drilling for soil, soil gas, and groundwater sampling for site characterization and remediation. It operates the most advanced drilling equipment in Israel (AMS VTR 9700 and VTR 9520) using Direct Push technology, enabling undisturbed soil sampling and precise contamination mapping. Biotera is the exclusive Israeli distributor of AMS drilling equipment.
- Ramboll-Environ (International Consulting)minorLDD collaborated with international consultancy Ramboll-Environ for risk assessment modeling on the Evrona oil spill project, including human health risk assessment for the contaminated area outside the nature reserve and ecological risk assessment for the Evrona nature reserve.
