High Volume Sampling and Vapor Intrusion Mitigation Design for a Manufacturing Facility

In the early eighties, a manufacturing facility (Site) was found to be the source of trichloroethene (TCE) impacts to local groundwater. Later in the decade, approximately 220 cubic yards of soil were removed from the Site’s central courtyard, an area where chlorinated solvents had previously been stored. The excavation was believed to have removed the majority of the source material, but a subsequent investigation showed elevated sub-slab soil gas concentrations of TCE centered around the courtyard with concentrations decreasing radially. The Site is currently a plastic recycling facility.

LNAPL Characterization and Off-site Stormwater Assessment

An active rail yard in Grand Rapids, Michigan has been used as a rail car storage and maintenance facility for the last 100 years. Diesel fuel impacts entered the subsurface during this period, resulting in 7.8 acres of light non-aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) up to seven feet in thickness. Years of active LNAPL recovery had not sufficiently addressed underlying risks to potential environmental and human health receptors.

Slope Remediation Strategy and Implementation at a Fly Ash Disposal Basin

The project site is a nearly 400-acre fly ash disposal basin for a very large, coal-fired electricity generating facility in Michigan. The fly ash disposal basin is enclosed by a 3.5-mile long, 40-foot high, compacted clay embankment.

Design of Foundation and Structural Integrity Support System for Soil Removal Beneath an Operating Manufacturing Facility

The owners of an active aircraft hydraulics manufacturing and testing facility in southwest Michigan were charged by state regulators with the removal of a large quantity of soil and other materials from beneath an active processing area known as the EPD Room. The owners turned to Geosyntec to engineer a system that would allow soil removal without disturbing foundation elements while maintaining the structural integrity of the active facility.
