The problem with tight soils, like clays, saprolites, and as far as geology goes – bedrock formations, is that contamination tends to migrate primarily through preferential pathways. The best way to prevent contamination from intruding into businesses or migrating off-site is to intercept those pathways with horizontal remediation wells.
A conceptual site model (CSM) is a comprehensive history of a particular contaminated site.
An extraction well is a specific type of well that is used to remove a certain medium from the subsurface.
Volatile Organic Carbons (VOCs) are more or less an umbrella term, which can originate from a range of varying contaminants, such as chlorinated solvents and gasoline byproducts.
Generally, two processes cause contamination to enter soil.
Learn what soil vapor is and the effect it can have if left untreated.
Installing horizontal soil vapor extraction wells through directional drilling eliminates the client’s frustrations of business interruptions, while directly impacting the source to knock-out remaining soil contamination.
Horizontal remediation wells (HRWs) are often most associated with accessing inaccessible areas of a site, such as beneath active buildings, railroads, roadways, and more. Though useful in these situations, the benefits of HRWs go far beyond accessibility.
Directional Technologies takes a personalized, site-specific approach to all environmental projects, with the goal of partnering with environmental consultants to increase the remedial effectiveness at their site through the use of HRWs.
A common reason potential clients reach out to environmental consultants is because they are assessing the positives and negatives of buying or selling a contaminated property. A major concern to property owners is the ability to eventually sell their land, which is a process that is highly complicated by the presence of subsurface contamination.
