Comprehensive Vapor Intrusion Control Services
Initial Evaluation Through As-Needed Mitigation
|
Vapor Intrusion Control (VIC) issues continue to be a concern for the building development and building management communities. EWMA can provide the entire range of VIC services, including the evaluation of potential VIC concerns for planned building sites, existing buildings, and developed areas. If mitigation is necessary, we provide effective, low-cost solutions that utilize modern building materials and innovative designs.
Our vapor depressurization systems can lend support to planned new commercial, industrial or residential buildings or site development projects. They can also be installed on existing buildings or developed areas with multiple buildings.
We have our own blend of in-house LSRPs, Scientists, Engineers, Fabricators, and Installers. This allows us to perform sophisticated compliance evaluations, analyses of site conditions, and as needed pre-design measurements. EWMA can engineer a vapor depressurization system, and build a practical, transportable system from the ground up in our fabrication facility in Boonton, NJ. The system is then installed on-site to fit effectively and seamlessly within site conditions.
Our company uses both interim and permanent VIC methods that include air purification, ventilation, gradient modification, entry denial, and zone control. Our team of professionals can adjust in-building air pressures, seal slabs, doors and walls. We can also depressurize basements and sub-slab areas, measure flue and back-draft effects, and measure micro-level air pressure and partial vacuums. We support our findings and corrective actions with analyses performed by certified analytical laboratories in tandem with substantive documentation.
For a no-cost discussion about vapor intrusion control options at a planned or existing building project, contact Richard Arnold at richard.arnold@ewma.com 973-560-1400 ext.174 or John Coviello at john.coviello@ewma.com ext.184.

Environmental Alert
In the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, representatives from the NJDEP, along with LSRPs and persons responsible for conducting remediation (PRCRs) participated in a post-storm exercise to review, analyze and learn from the experience. The new "Planning for and Response to Catastrophic Events at Contaminated Sites" Technical Guidance presents lessons learned from this exercise and identifies improvements that can be made to enhance remedial system resiliency and prepare for future catastrophic events. Topics covered in the Guidance related to catastrophic events, include:
- Factors to consider in planning for and responding to catastrophic events
- Incorporating resiliency into the design and implementation of site remedies
- Retro-fitting vulnerable sites to decrease disruption to existing systems
- Establishing communication networks, chain-of-command structures, and procedures to be used during catastrophic events
- How to re-assess systems and review lessons learned to better prepare for future catastrophic events
A Case Study will also be presented to help illustrate these concepts.
