Environmental consultants have relied on horizontal remediation wells (HRWs) to deal with some of their most challenging remediation projects. With many experienced consultants seeking to expand their remediation toolkit and new consultants entering the field looking to learn about specialized remediation techniques, it is beneficial to be aware of what types of remediation can be using horizontal wells.

With many experienced consultants seeking to expand their remediation toolkit and new consultants entering the field looking to learn about specialized remediation techniques, it is beneficial to be aware of what types of remediation can be performed using horizontal remediation.
When commercial and industrial companies select an environmental consultant to help them address their soil and groundwater contamination needs, they look for someone who has the expertise to both achieve remediation goals and help minimize costs to their business during remedial construction and subsequent operations and maintenance.
What options are available to overcome restrictive site conditions that would otherwise impact your remediation projects.
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.
The most typical projects where horizontal remediation wells outperform traditional remediation methods fall into five common categories. 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.
