When it comes to managing the migration of contaminant plumes to adjacent properties, choosing the best way to fence in subsurface contamination can often make the difference between a moderate-sized cleanup in the near future and a large-sized cleanup further down the road.
A useful checklist to help you uncover whether Horizontal Remediation Wells are the right tool for improving budget, schedule, and performance on your current project.
Successful horizontal soil vapor extraction (SVE) pilot study leads to full-scale implementation of horizontal multiport SVE wells for methane soil gas remediation of a residential area.
The objective of the horizontal soil sampling was to provide immediate field data to delineate the extent of chlorinated solvent impact beneath the building.
Angled drilling has its place for gaining access under some types surface infrastructure but using horizontal wells instead of angled wells provides significant advantages regarding entry angles, steerable bore paths, and horizontal coverage of the target areas beneath buildings, roadways, runways, and other areas difficult to access.
On a recent project, the unknown subsurface conditions threw a curveball at our team, requiring our client and Directional Technologies to brainstorm a quick redesign of the horizontal well layout and installation.
Engineered, custom slotted horizontal wells are designed on a site-by-site basis, specifically for the subsurface conditions and remedial application desired. Prefabricated horizontal wells systems are available for purchase from the manufacturers.
The Australasian Land and Groundwater Association, ALGA, recognized Pedro Balbachevsky, AECOM, and his team, Directional Technologies and Matrix Drilling, for the 2018 Outstanding Innovation Award for Australia’s 1st Installation of Horizontal Wells for ISCO and Biosparging.
Our long-time client, FPM Remediations, Inc., used their knowledge of horizontal biosparging wells to design a unique and efficient remediation system to allow for uninterrupted taxiing of commercial and military aircraft.
Faced with the urgent need to remediate beneath an active runway at John F Kennedy International Airport in New York City, Lou Fournier, Ph.D. of Star Environmental, Inc. contacted Directional Technologies, Inc. to install the first horizontal wells using mid-sized directional drilling rigs. His innovative approach to this pivotal project helped create the horizontal remediation industry as we know it today.
