Mitigate the Risk of Methane Vapor Intrusion at New Building Construction in Florida

Mitigating against methane vapor intrusion (VI) is a necessary step to protect future occupants and safeguard the investment when constructing a new building in Florida. Many areas in the state have a history of industrial and landfill usage that creates pathways for methane migration in the subsurface. As new development further encroaches onto these areas, proactively addressing potential methane VI risk during the early stages of a building project becomes even more necessary.

Effective Methane Mitigation Solutions

Multi-Acre Tampa Logistics Center Protected from Methane

A new, expansive logistics center in Tampa, Florida, was the site of a former brownfield, where past operations resulted in methane in the soil gas, requiring a cost-effective solution to mitigate the potential VI risk. After reviewing multiple options, the project team ultimately selected the Nitra-Seal® Nitrile-Advanced Contaminant Vapor Barrier and TerraVent™ Low Profile Venting System.

Considering the site conditions and level of contaminant risk, Nitra-Seal was viewed as the best available, most cost-efficient technology for the large logistics center. With a foundation approaching a quarter million square feet and a tight project schedule, Nitra-Seal’s nitrile-modified spray-applied core results in faster installations while providing superior chemical protection, separating it from other VI systems considered. Land Science’s technical expertise and support in the VI mitigation design process were also critical factors in the selection process.
