Monitoring and Vapor Well Installation

Service Description

Monitoring and vapor well installation involves the placement of specialized wells to assess subsurface environmental conditions, particularly for detecting groundwater and soil gas contamination. Monitoring wells are typically installed using drilling equipment to reach the water table, allowing for the collection of groundwater samples over time. Vapor wells, often shallower, are installed to sample soil gas and assess the potential for vapor intrusion into buildings. Both types of wells are constructed with materials like PVC casing and sand packs, and are sealed with bentonite or grout to prevent cross-contamination. These installations are critical for environmental site assessments, remediation planning, and regulatory compliance.
