Soil Vapor Sampling – Reducing Costs and Minimizing Leaks – VaporDeck™

In this Brownfield Braintrust Podcast episode, we discuss environmental vapor sampling with two exceptional experts in the field, Will Rice of ⁠Enthalpy Analytical⁠ and Kevin Kelly of ⁠Langan Engineering⁠. Those of you who are actively involved in brownfields assessment, remediation, and redevelopment have had to come to terms with new vapor intrusion agency guidelines and regulations that have tightened environmental screening. The reduced screening levels have prompted us to analyze more soil and soil vapor samples, so there is a greater need than ever to be efficient in the field and in the laboratory. To that end, we are going to examine one patented solution, VaporDeck™, a tool for soil vapor sampling everywhere. The VaporDeck™ provides a better solution to allow sample crews to simultaneously pull 2 or more samples from different depths, collect actual duplicates, and move from location to location faster, all while maintaining sample integrity and field documentation.

Our two esteemed guests:

• ⁠Will Rice⁠ is Enthalpy Analytical’ s Technical Sales and Business Development representative and is based in the Bay Area. He has a background in Earth Sciences and Analytical Chemistry, working in both the lab and the field for over 20 years.  Specifically, he has been focusing on Vapor Intrusion for 10 years, due to the rigorous regional standards in Northern California and the Bay Area.  
• ⁠Kevin Kelly⁠ is a professional geologist with over 20 years’ experience at Langan Engineering, working on complex projects across the country. He has evaluated the vapor intrusion pathway at dozens of commercial, residential and industrial sites.
