Details of Services
Vacuum extraction of impacted groundwater, free-product, and vapor phase hydrocarbons from gas/diesel releases as well as other petroleum impacts.
You might prefer this method of remediation compared to a permanent system since it is less intrusive and typically less expensive.
You might be trying to size a permanent system at your site and you want to test vacuum, vapor flow, and extraction rates.
LP Environmental has performed hundreds of high vacuum extraction events and can tailor data collection to your needs.
- 2 hour events
- 8 hour events
- 12 hours events
- 24 hours events
- 48+ hour events
