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.
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.
Vapor Intrusion (VI) is a potential concern at any building, existing or planned, located near soil or groundwater contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
If you are reviewing a remedial application with five (5) or more vertical wells or points, have you considered horizontal wells?
Directional Technologies designed and installed a horizontal environmental well system featuring variable slot sizes and spacing along the environmental well screen section.
Horizontal Remediation Wells are installed outside the building footprint and involve little to no business disruption.
Where chlorinated solvents are the issue, horizontal wells enable soil vapor extraction (or multiple in situ chemical oxidation injections) and provide subslab depressurization with appropriately sized/controlled blower systems.
