Exposure Pathway Elimination with Horizontal Remediation Wells

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.

Mitigate Vapor Intrusion with Access Limitations

When source-area contamination is beneath a building, a range of environmental problems arise. Contaminants can leach through the soil and impact groundwater, allowing mobility of the contamination to off-site locations. Vapor intrusion from beneath the facilities’ slab can create dangerous working conditions if vapors permeate inside the facility.
