Permeable Reactive Barriers: Quality Data Gathering creates Robust Designs

In the environmental industry the Permeable Reactive Barrier, or PRB, is a well known technology/strategy when dealing property boundary management and off-Site liability risk for mobile groundwater impacts. In fact, Vertex has already written about these technologies a few times

Multi-Area Site LNAPL Plume Delineated

An active rail yard located in Edmonton, Alberta had been operating for years (and continues) prior to an intrusive environmental investigation being completed. After multiple rounds of traditional site investigations, significant data gaps remained in the vertical and horizontal delineation

Historical LNAPL Plume Delineated

An old rail storage yard located in Bonnyville, Alberta was operating for years prior to a laser induced fluorescence (LIF) investigation being completed. After traditional site investigations, light non-aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) was discovered in in several monitoring wells. After

Unknown TCE Plume Delineated

An historic depot located in Northern Ontario was used for transferring chemicals from bulk storage to trucks for distribution. An extensive monitoring well installation and vapour probe survey was completed. Downgradient groundwater monitoring wells with significant concentrations of chlorinated solvents

Unknown LNAPL Plume Delineated

An historic landfill located in Southern Ontario was used for disposing of everything from household waste to industrial waste chemicals from bulk storage facilities. An extensive monitoring well installation and barrier wall was completed in previous years at the Site.

PHC High Resolution Site Characterization Survey

A historic leak from a UST released over 19,000 L of gasoline directly into the subsurface over a five year period. Extensive borehole drilling and monitoring well installations were completed. A downgradient area of high PHC concentrations was discovered extending
