Historical leaks from a series of underground tanks and pipes were indentified at a former fuel dispensing facility in Toronto. The leakage had created an underground plume over an area of approximately 1,000m2. Excavation was deemed to be technically challenging
Vertex Saves Wells without Disrupting Residents
A spill near a residential area in Quebec released petroleum hydrocarbons into the underlying groundwater and soil. The accident posed a risk to nearby wells, endangering the local water supply. PHC contaminants included: Benzene, Toluene, Xylene
Residential Area in Quebec
Near a residential area in Quebec, an accidental release of petroleum hydrocarbons from a spill into the underlying groundwater and soil posed a risk to nearby water supply wells. Groundwater concentrations for selected PHCs included: Benzene (maximum concentration of 146
Industrial Site in New Jersey
At an industrial site in New Jersey, historical leakage from a UST released petroleum hydrocarbons into the underlying groundwater and soil creating a health and ecology risk to overlying and down gradient receptors. Soil concentrations of PHCs included: BTEX (maximum
Remote Residence Leaked Petroleum Hydrocarbons
At a remote residence, petroleum hydrocarbons leaked from a UST into the underlying groundwater and soil creating a health and ecology risk to the residents and local environment. Soil concentrations of PHCs included: BTEX (maximum concentration of 152 μg/g) F1
Operating Manufacturing Facility
At an operating manufacturing facility, free phase petroleum hydrocarbons were discovered underneath the facility. Soil concentrations of PHCs included: BTEX (maximum concentration of 5 μg/g ) F1 & F2 (maximum concentration of 4,920 μg/g ) F3 & F4 (maximum concentration of 44,000
Rural Residence Heating Oil Storage Tank
At a rural residence, petroleum hydrocarbons leaked from a heating oil storage tank into the underlying groundwater, rock and soil. The release created potential health and ecological risks for the residents and local environment. Soil concentrations included: PHC (maximum concentration of
Former Gas Station
Vertex was retained to remediate a former gas station now developed as a commercial mall. Excavation was not an option due to the depth of the free phase and plume as well as the utilities and infrastructure on site. Groundwater
Operating Refinery in Saudi Arabia
Vertex Environmental Inc. staff have designed, constructed and operated a series of pneumatic skimmer skimmers for the removal of free phase petroleum hydrocarbons including naptha, gasoline, diesel, fuel oils and crude oil. Geologic environments in which Vertex has installed skimmer
Trailer Park in Eastern Ontario
At a trailer park in Eastern Ontario, two heating oil tanks released heating oil into the underlying unconsolidated and fractured media. Following excavation of the unconsolidated material, an in-situ chemical oxidation program was completed to address the petroleum hydrocarbon plume
