TerraShield Protects New Warehouse Development
Case study highlights:
- New Modern Logistics Hub in Opportunity Zone
- 265,000 Square Feet of TerraShield Installed
A former metal castings foundry in Southern California, operating since the 1970s, has been redeveloped into a state-of-the-art logistics hub. Over decades, the site’s soil and groundwater were contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as perchloroethylene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE). Despite soil vapor extraction (SVE) efforts in 2000 and again in 2012-2013, residual VOCs persisted, posing a potential vapor intrusion risk. In 2023, the redevelopment of the property began with the demolition of the former foundry building. Soil vapor sampling conducted during redevelopment confirmed the need for a vapor intrusion mitigation system (VIMS) to prevent any remaining VOCs from intruding into the new building, designed as a modern logistics hub.
TerraShield Utilized at Industrial Facility
Project snapshot highlights:
- Industrial Facility Expansion Above Zone of TCE Impacts
- 16,000 Square Feet of TerraShield Installed
New structures are being constructed at an active industrial facility in Ohio undergoing plant expansion. The site is located above a contamination zone where trichloroethene (TCE) has impacted the soil and groundwater, creating a contaminant plume and a vapor intrusion (VI) risk exceeding U.S. EPA’s Industrial VI Standards. To address this potential VI risk, the consulting team aimed to implement a preemptive VI mitigation solution that would meet regulatory requirements without impeding the development schedule. The team selected Land Science’s TerraShield Vapor Barrier due to its high chemical resistance, excellent constructability, and competitive pricing.
