Horizontal remediation wells (HRWs) are often most associated with accessing seemingly inaccessible areas of a site, such as beneath active buildings, railroads, roadways, and more. Though useful in these situations, the benefits of HRWs go far beyond accessibility. Generally, we…

Horizontal Drilling Techniques Offer Significant Advantages When Delineating Contamination Horizontal drilling techniques offer significant advantages when delineating contamination, particularly on environmental projects where contamination exists in limited-access locations. Several tools can be applied to horizontal technologies to ensure the contamination…

A common reason potential clients reach out to environmental consultants is because they are assessing the positives and negatives of buying or selling a contaminated property. A major concern to property owners is the ability to eventually sell their land,…

While horizontal drilling techniques offer substantial advantages over vertical practices in terms of physical access to the plume, a more efficient cleanup is also accomplished by expanding the radius of influence (ROI) and closing the remedial gap with horizontal remediation…

Increasingly, consultants are choosing to implement a more effective bioremediation approach via horizontal injection wells. 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…

Horizontal Bioremediation at a Military Base By Tomas Will, Sr. Environmental Scientist When faced with replacing a horizontal bioremediation system at a military base, a consultant was tasked with selecting the best alternative to replace the aging system. The existing…

Soil vapor extraction (SVE) is one of the most effective methods to remediate certain types of subsurface contamination. Read on to learn more about how soil vapor extraction is used, why horizontal wells are frequently chosen to implement soil vapor…

Selecting the best way to implement a remediation technology is one of the most important factors that affect remediation performance. Horizontal remediation wells offer an alternative remedial implementation approach that can help overcome challenging site conditions. Read on to learn…

Soil contamination often requires further intervention beyond a simple excavation to achieve remediation goals. Read on to learn more about why remediation of contaminated soil is important, why horizontal wells are frequently chosen for soil remediation, and how your contaminated…
