Effective Design and Implementation of Vapor Intrusion Mitigation Systems for New Construction
In this webinar we are pleased to have special guest speaker Tom Hatton, CEO of Clean Vapor LLC. His presentation will discuss successfully designing and implementing Vapor Intrusion Mitigation Systems (VIMS) for new construction. He will be joined by Jordan Knight, National Sales Manager for Land Science, who will discuss advanced vapor intrusion mitigation system technologies.
Topics covered in this free webinar:
- Stages of designing and installing an effective VIMS, including pre-emptive mitigation, conveyance plenums, and sampling probes
- Investigation process needed to determine the contaminants of concern
- Complying with local, state, and federal regulatory requirements
- Achieving timely construction installation and regulatory compliance by finding the right design/build partner

Nitra-Seal Ensures Healthy Work Environment at New Electric Vehicle Plant
Project snapshot highlights:
- Major automaker trusts Land Science to proactively address potential vapor intrusion risk
- Nitra-Seal selected because it offered the best economic value for the level of vapor intrusion protection provided
- The new technologically advanced facility creates hundreds of new jobs for Southeast Michigan residents
A leading automobile manufacturer built a new 520,000-square-foot electric vehicle facility on the site of one of its former plants in Detroit, Michigan. The former site had a long history of automotive manufacturing. Considering the site’s history, and the potential for lingering solvent, fuel, or other subsurface chemical impacts, the auto company was proactive in applying a proven and effective contaminant vapor intrusion solution to ensure a healthy working environment for its employees. Ultimately, Nitra Seal® Nitrile-Advanced Contaminant Vapor Barrier with TerraVent™ Low Profile Venting System, was selected by the construction project team, offering the best economic value for the level of VI protection provided. MTN, Inc., a Land Science Certified Applicator, completed the installation with high efficiency, working directly with the concrete subcontractor to meet the scheduled production rate of the Nitra-Seal system installation. Quality assurance and control testing were completed per manufacturer’s specifications, verifying the integrity and proper installation of the contaminant vapor barrier system.
The Anatomy of a Risk-Based Closure and Litigation Risks
In this webinar we were pleased to have special guest speaker leading environmental law expert David Gillay, Partner at Barnes & Thornburg, LLP. His presentation discussed the anatomy of a risk-based closure and litigation risks. He was joined by Jordan Knight, National Sales Manager at Land Science, who discussed innovative vapor intrusion mitigation system technologies.
Learn the following in this free webinar:
-
- Key components and decision points in developing and successfully implementing an integrated source reduction and risk management closure strategy
- Litigation updates regarding TCE toxicity and exposure issues
- What constitutes and imminent and substantial endangerment and expert battles related to chlorinated VOCs
- Contaminant vapor mitigation industry’s most advanced barrier technologies

Project Snapshot | TerraShield Chosen as Most Protective Economical Vapor Intrusion Mitigation Solution for Large Logistics Facility
A long-vacant San Francisco Bay Area brownfield was once the site of a former chemical plant that produced chlorofluorocarbons, fuel additive anti-knock compounds, and titanium dioxide from 1956 to 1997. With onsite rail service and more than three million households within 50 miles, the property was considered a prime location for a new 2.2 million square foot logistics development. However, the site’s prior industrial history left residual volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the subsurface and posed a potential vapor intrusion risk. Following a cost-benefit analysis and thorough evaluation of contaminant vapor barrier systems available, TerraShield® Metalized Nitrile Contaminant Vapor Barrier was selected for the new logistics building

Featured Brochure | Superior Chemical Resistance Over any Vapor Barrier on the Market
The Land Science research and development team of scientists have invested years in developing the TerraShield vapor barrier system, which delivers orders of magnitude higher vapor intrusion protection as compared to the leading vapor barrier system. The new, innovative, metalized material and multiple layers of protection are key to the increased performance. The R&D team also improved on the core material, incorporating nitrile, known for its chemical resistance, as a key component. The result is a 100 times more effective protection as compared to existing vapor barriers in recent laboratory tests.
Newly Patented Vapor Barrier System Incorporates Metalized Film to Offer 100x Chemical Resistance
Land Science was recently awarded a U.S. patent for the innovative use of a reinforced geomembrane comprised of an encapsulated, metalized layer and installed with Nitra-Core, a spray-applied nitrile-modified asphalt. This patented innovation is integral to the enhanced protection built into MonoShield and TerraShield. As part of the U.S. patent process, Land Science scientists presented lab testing data that compared the design of the new vapor intrusion barrier technology to commonly used high-density polyethylene (HDPE) systems, and found that TerraBase+ provided 100 times more protection from TCE vs. the HDPE tested.
