Physical site constraints, in combination with shallow groundwater, have led more consultants to target exposure pathway elimination with horizontal remediation wells. Gas stations are one of the most common facilities requiring a remedial response due to compromised underground storage tanks (USTs) and leaks resulting from fuel dispenser piping failures.
During site characterization, it was discovered that the initial release had not been fully remediated and that the present-day groundwater contaminant plume covered a large area. With a large area to remediate, several businesses impacted, sensitive receptors in the area, and a renewed regulatory interest in assuring that the contamination issues be resolved for good, here’s how one of our clients teamed up with Directional Technologies to implement their remedial strategy incorporating horizontal air sparge and SVE wells.
To avoid costly business interruption and site disturbance, a non-invasive remedial approach by installing horizontal ozone sparge wells with directional drilling techniques was recommended.
Horizontal wells for remediation is the perfect design option when business operations must continue during mitigation or remediation activities.
Directional Technologies had a perfect solution for this contamination problem at a busy intersection: Install the wells blind, without exit points at the far side of the roadway.
