Featured Case Study | 1.2 Million Square Foot MonoShield Application Protects Historic Steel Manufacturing Site
On the site of one of the largest former steel mills in the world, a large logistics center redevelopment project is underway. The development promises to transform the historic site into 15 million square feet of warehousing space and bring the community anywhere from 5,000 to 10,000 new jobs. Working with the environmental consultant and the developer, Land Science was chosen to incorporate the MonoShield contaminant vapor barrier system to preemptively address any potential vapor intrusion issues.

Technical Data Sheet | One of the Fastest Vapor Barriers to Install is Also One of the Safest
MonoShield is a single-layer, underslab contaminant vapor barrier offering superior chemical resistance, durability, and ease of installation versus traditional sheet membranes. MonoShield is an optimal mitigation solution to reduce liability for large, slab-on-grade buildings where installation speed is critical, for sites with a low-level vapor intrusion (VI) risk, or for use in conjunction with active sub-slab venting systems.
eBook | 5 Reasons to Consider a Preemptive Vapor Barrier System to Protect Your Property Investment
Historically, easily punctured thin-mil plastic sheets or inflexible and difficult-to-seal High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Barriers were the only option for vapor mitigation at large warehouses or sites where regulatory requirements were not a driving risk factor. These solutions offered either chemical resistance or constructability, but not both. Composed of an innovative metalized film, MonoShield sets the standard for preventing diffusion and permeation of chemical vapors.
Case Study | Retro-Coat Protects Los Angeles Contemporary Art Gallery
PCE was detected in the soil gas beneath a commercial building housing a contemporary art gallery and studio suite in a Los Angeles neighborhood. Investigations revealed that a regional groundwater contaminant plume, originating from an upgradient source, was the cause of PCE in the soil vapor, and indoor air sampling results showed that the intrusion of PCE-impacted soil vapor to the indoor air was a complete exposure pathway for on-site workers. As a result, a mitigation plan was required to protect against potential VI exposure to PCE. The contaminant vapor barrier selected for implementation was Retro-Coat, a low-permeability, epoxy coating system proven effective at preventing VI of volatile organic compounds like PCE and a favorable choice for existing structures.

Project Snapshot| MonoShield Installed Faster and at a Significantly Lower Cost than System with Taped Seams
Sawyer Yards is an apartment community located in Houston’s vibrant Arts District neighborhood. Chlorinated solvents were detected in soil gas, posing a potential vapor intrusion risk to future residents. The original vapor mitigation system (VMS) specification called for a single-layer barrier with taped seams. However, the building’s foundation contained many utility penetrations and terminations, requiring numerous taped seams. These taped seams significantly reduce application efficiency and ultimately result in potential barrier weak points. In contrast, MonoShield® incorporates a spray-applied nitrile-advanced asphalt latex, offering superior application efficiency with unmatched chemical resistance.
Brochure | Why Smart Developers are Choosing MonoShield
MonoShield is a chemically resistant and easy-to-apply barrier specifically designed as a preemptive solution for vapor intrusion at brownfield redevelopment sites. It is backed by unparalleled design support, standard industry warranty, and a network of certified applicators who can ensure quality installation. To learn why developers are increasingly turning to MonoShield for a fast and cost-effective preemptive vapor mitigation solution, download the brochure.
