Cold Weather Injections at Remote Site

A historical leaking UST resulted in contamination to soil and groundwater inside a remote National Park. A Risk Assessment identified concerns over benzene concentrations for a planned building expansion. Excavation was ruled out due to the depth of the impacts

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

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

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
