Soil vapor intrusion refers to the process by which volatile chemicals move from a subsurface source into the indoor air of overlying buildings. Soil vapor can become contaminated when chemicals evaporate from subsurface sources and enter the vadose zone.
Projects with high permeability soils often require fewer horizontal remediation wells due to the high radius of influence that can be achieved using Directional Technologies’ custom engineered site-specific well screen design.
Read the real-time data through horizontal soil sampling for optimal horizontal vapor extraction well construction case study.
Faced with various challenges surrounding how to avoid delaying the property redevelopment without compromising the efficacy of their remedial solution, the consultant began evaluating their potential options.
Directional Technologies understands that no two sites are the same and there is no one-size-fits-all approach that will work effectively for every project. In this article, we review two projects of drastically different scales to demonstrate how horizontal wells solved challenges for both the consultants and their clients and provided cost-effective solutions.
The proposed footprint of a new hangar building meant that the existing horizontal extraction well would have to be decommissioned and a new remediation well needed to be installed at a nearby location.
Why some of the best in the industry turn to horizontal wells when they need a solution that performs better and more quickly.
Solutions for a groundwater contaminant plume that was spreading over a wide area and was migrating toward a nearby surface water.
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.
