The Leaders in Soil Gas Surveys and Vapour Intrusion Monitoring
Print
Inexpensive screening for volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds in soil and groundwater.
Quickly identify source areas and delineate the lateral extent of contamination, including migration
pathways or indoor air intrusion pathways. Reduce data gaps and optimize remediation systems.
The most accurate and reliable passive soil gas (PSG) and vapour intrusion data in the industry.
Proven technology supported by 20 years of international experience meeting demanding quality standards.
Easy sampler installation, fast reporting turnaround and low cost
Save $´000s which are better spent on targeted detail investigation and remediation.

Wide range of applications
Where VOCs and SVOCs are contaminants of concern, Beacon Environmental´s versatile technologies have been used on a wide variety of sites to meet many objectives, including the following:Landfills
PSG surveys provide a checklist of VOCs and SVOCs present. |
Commercial Property Transfers
PSG surveys are used by purchasers, sellers, banks and insurance companies to collect data rapidly - providing the information necessary to make informed decisions rapidly. |
Remediation Design and Long Term Monitoring PSG surveys position where monitoring wells should be installed, guide the remediation program, and can provide a cost effective method of long-term monitoring. |
Pipelines and USTs/Petroleum Contamination PSG surveys provide evidence on the types of petroleum contamination present (petrol, diesel, jet fuel, etc.) and are used to locate these releases from pipelines and USTs. |
Defence / Energy sites PSG surveys are used to identify historic releases of a broad range of contamination, including solvents, fuels, chemical warfare agents (CWAs), CWA breakdown products, and nitroaromatics. |
Risk Assessment PSG surveys identify vapour intrusion pathways through soil and concrete flooring with a proven level of ppt sensitivity. |
Brownfields/Industrial PSG samples are deployed rapidly with little or no impact on ongoing operations, are easy to install both indoors and outdoors, and are highly useful in determining PRPs. |
Dry Cleaners/Solvent Contamination PSG surveys are routinely used to target PCE, TCE, and other solvents without interruption to ongoing business operations. |
Site Characterization and Site Assessment Passive soil gas (PSG) surveys are used to identify source areas and track groundwater plumes of known or suspected contamination and are also used as an initial site screen where little or no previous data have been collected. PSG surveys provide an abundant amount of data to develop an accurate conceptual site model the first time. |
