Faced with the urgent need to remediate beneath an active runway at John F Kennedy International Airport in New York City, Lou Fournier, Ph.D. of Star Environmental, Inc. contacted Directional Technologies, Inc. to install the first horizontal wells using mid-sized directional drilling rigs. His innovative approach to this pivotal project helped create the horizontal remediation industry as we know it today.
Installation of horizontal remediation wells with directional drilling prevented an estimated 200 hours of manufacturing downtime.
To achieve the remedial goals for the consultants and their client, horizontal wells were used as the solution. They provided an alternative to typical remedial technologies with less of an impact to both the site and the general public.
Horizontal wells are utilized for many diverse remedial methods: air/oxygen/ozone sparge, soil vapor extraction (SVE), multiphase extraction (MPE), in-situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) injection, bio-amendment injection, thermal remediation, hydraulic control, and more.
Expedited installation of horizontal sub-slab soil vapor extraction wells provides a quick solution to an emergency vapor intrusion site.
As part of the Corrective Action Plan (CAP) submitted to NYSDEC, the consultant selected Soil Vapor Extraction Wells to expand the on-site vapor extraction system.
Directional Technologies installed Electrical Resistance Heating (ERH) electrodes to minimize disruptions while effectively remediating impacts beneath the facility within a shorter duration.
Key elements that make horizontal well technology work and why horizontal wells are a viable remedial solution.
Horizontal wells were engineered to function as Horizontal Biosparge Wells in combination with an existing Soil Vapor Extraction system.
Breathing is now easy thanks to installing an Air Sparge and Soil Vapor Extraction system utilizing Horizontal Remediation Wells under row houses.
