Optimization of Vapour Intrusion Investigations and Mitigation

This session will explore different conceptual site models for vapour Intrusion and various techniques for assessment of the VI pathway.  We will review challenges with VI assessment such as spatial and temporal variability and background sources and how to over come these challenges. In addition, various mitigation techniques will be discussed and how the conceptual site model influences the type and size of the mitigation system required.
 

Paul Nicholson is currently working for Geosyntec as a Senior Engineer. He has 15 years’ experience in vapour Intrusion investigations and mitigation. Paul just completed a 5-year US Department of Defense funded research program on the optimization of vapour mitigation systems and the implementation of innovative sampling techniques for both residential and commercial buildings.
