Better Site Models with Horizontal Sampling
Make use of proprietary horizontal sampling tools developed and refined to enable environmental consultants to screen soils during the installation process of horizontal remediation wells.

Using their proprietary custom well screen design technology, a site-specific screen design was developed to deal with the tight lithology at the site. The consultant, having evaluated the various available options, determined that a horizontal MPE well would allow them the best chance for success.
A single custom-engineered horizontal well that is designed to meet a project’s site-specific criteria often exceeds the
performance of five or more vertical wells.
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.
Diligent consultants are often rewarded for remedial actions that can both save money on implementation and avoid costs from disrupting operations at active commercial and industrial sites.
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.
Evaluation of the horizontal well system effectiveness showed that soil vapor extraction (SVE) wells were effectively capturing TPH/cVOCs from sub-slab soil gas and decreasing LNAPL mass.
Solutions for a groundwater contaminant plume that was spreading over a wide area and was migrating toward a nearby surface water.
Horizontal wells are an effective solution to bring regulatory site closure to challenging sites, no matter the site conditions. With the proper equipment, techniques, and experience, horizontal remediation wells can be successfully installed to depths of greater than 100 feet.
