Vapor Intrusion Mitigation
Vapor Intrusion Mitigation System (VIMS) Design Engineering
A properly designed VIMS can mitigate a vapor intrusion problem, provide safe indoor air, and meet environmental regulatory requirements. We provide system designs for new and existing buildings to address the following:
Our team understands the complexities involved in vapor intrusion and actively participates in developing industry design standards. By staying abreast of emerging technologies and industry best practices, we provide efficient and effective mitigation techniques. This allows us to deliver proven solutions for your project’s unique needs.
The VIMS Design Engineering Difference We Deliver
- When possible, we implement passive mitigation technologies, providing a more reliable and cost-effective system.
- Your designs are prepared by qualified professional engineers or radon mitigation specialists, resulting in more construction-friendly and efficient systems.
- Our system designs allow for competitive bidding among multiple contractors, ensuring cost-effective construction.
Vapor Intrusion Assessment
Subsurface contamination or naturally occurring radon can cause hazardous vapors to enter a building, making the air unsafe for occupants. We collect data to assess vapor intrusion risks to understand whether vapor intrusion occurs in a building or may occur in a planned building. A proper assessment can lower project costs by demonstrating that mitigation is unnecessary or enabling an optimized, cost-effective system design.
Vapor Intrusion Mitigation System (VIMS) Construction Quality Assurance/Quality Control
A poorly constructed VIMS can lead to an ineffective system, extra repair costs, and delays in building occupancy. We help verify that systems are installed properly and function effectively so you avoid occupancy delays and extra costs of post-construction modifications.
Vapor Intrusion Mitigation System (VIMS) Operation, Maintenance, and Monitoring (OM&M)
Improperly maintained VIMS may not operate correctly, potentially resulting in unsafe indoor air conditions. We verify that systems are effective and comply with industry standards and regulatory requirements, thereby reducing liability related to occupant health and avoiding costly repairs with regular maintenance.
