Working together, we identified a system by combining the use of horizontal air sparge and soil vapor extraction (AS/SVE) wells to address contaminants in upper saturated soils and the more mobile LNAPL in the deeper strata.
How is it that a consultant could use just 6 horizontal remediation wells to outperform 50 conventional remediation wells, and finally manage to bring closure to a stubborn project site?
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.

Many horizontal remediation projects have characteristics of several of these categories. These categories typify the challenges that consultants can overcome when using the appropriate horizontal remediation methods.
See the video. Mike Sequino discusses the challenges of a large contaminated site with a deep groundwater table at 100′ bgs.
Horizontal well technology is often chosen to manage groundwater movement instead of traditional vertical wells because it offers advantages.
