Horizontal remediation wells offer the same services as vertical wells but with notable versatilities that can significantly improve a project’s remediation efficiency. A powerful application that is often underutilized is the ability to use horizontal remediation wells for in-situ bioremediation of groundwater contamination – particularly through injection processes.

Learn how soil vapor extraction is used, why horizontal wells are frequently chosen to implement soil vapor extraction, and how your contaminated site may benefit from evaluating soil vapor extraction.
Horizontal remediation wells offer an alternative remedial implementation approach that can help overcome challenging site conditions.
Learn why remediation of contaminated soil is important, why horizontal wells are frequently chosen for soil remediation, and how your contaminated site may benefit from evaluating horizontal soil remediation techniques.
During site characterization, it was discovered that the initial release had not been fully remediated and that the present-day groundwater contaminant plume covered a large area. With a large area to remediate, several businesses impacted, sensitive receptors in the area, and a renewed regulatory interest in assuring that the contamination issues be resolved for good, here’s how one of our clients teamed up with Directional Technologies to implement their remedial strategy incorporating horizontal air sparge and SVE wells.
Soil Vapor Extraction (SVE) involves the removal of vapor-phase contaminants from the vadose zone of the subsurface. The vapors are created when chemical compounds found in the subsurface volatilize.
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.
A chemical release associated with the train derailment has garnered nationwide attention and there are some lessons from East Palestine in horizontal treatability. The incident has raised concerns over air quality and water quality in the surrounding areas of Ohio and Pennsylvania.
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.
