Volatile organic carbons (VOCs) are chemicals that easily can evaporate into air. VOCs are more or less an umbrella term, which can originate from a range of varying contaminants, such as chlorinated solvents and gasoline byproducts. Volatile organic carbons can pose a threat to human health as the vapors pool beneath sub-slabs and foundations, where they migrate into the buildings, making the air quality unsafe. To prevent harmful VOCs from entering critical, confined airspace, the soil contamination causing the harmful vapors must be cleaned up.
The best way to treat soil contamination is using horizontal wells to implement a soil vapor extraction (SVE) procedure. Horizontal wells are ideal for soil vapor extraction because they can be installed beneath buildings and residences affected by harmful VOCs without causing any business or infrastructure damage at the surface.
Here are some of the many benefits of using Horizontal Wells to clean up soil contamination
1.) Horizontal wells may clean up the contamination faster than traditional vertical well remediation.
2.) Less remediation equipment may be needed due to a more efficient setup of the wells to reach the pollutants.
3.) There is less disruption to occupants and surrounding areas than excavating and soil cleaning.
4.) Horizontal wells can reach the pollutant’s source, ensuring the problem will not linger.
