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…
Investigating an unfamiliar technology can be intimidating, but exploring horizontal remediation wells (HRWs) with Directional Technologies, Inc. (DTI) is painless. DTI has a curated discovery process that is designed to provide you with answers to any questions you have about…
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,…
In 2022, Directional Technologies provided horizontal well design alterations for successful remedial results at a bulk fuels facility in North Carolina. Even at highly characterized and delineated sites, physical site restrictions can prevent the ability to implement proposed remedial designs…
Physical site constraints, in combination with shallow groundwater, have led more consultants to target exposure pathway elimination with horizontal remediation wells. Gas stations are one of the most common facilities requiring a remedial response due to compromised underground storage tanks…
How do you mitigate vapor intrusion with access limitations due to source area contamination residing beneath a large commercial building? It is not uncommon that environmental remediation sites are generated from contamination spills beneath a facility. When source-area contamination is…
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…
How Does Soil Vapor Extraction Remediate Contaminated Soil and Groundwater? 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….
