Soil Contamination | Sources, Types and Remediation
Soil contamination can originate from many different sources. As a result, many different types of contamination can exist in the soil.

The horizontal drilling mud program and its interactions with the surrounding geology is critical for the pace of the drilling, environmental effects, and stability of the borehole during installation.
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.
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.
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.
The superior physics of horizontal well screens avoid dead zones, provide more rapid pore volume exchange rates, and result in significantly faster time-to-closure.
Due to their increased screen length and geometric compatibility, Air Sparging is an advanced contaminated soil cleanup solution.
Learn how using horizontal air sparging can provide benefits for groundwater remediation.
The process of a blind installation for a horizontal well eliminates the need for an exit point. Instead, the well bore is terminated in the subsurface at the far end of the proposed screen and the well material is pushed into place.
