Abstract of presentation: High Volume Sampling (HVS) is a method developed by Geosyntec to assess the potential for vapor intrusion in large buildings, rapidly, with greater confidence and at lower cost than traditional methods. HVS can provide information over a large area by purging and screening tens of thousands of liters of soil gas. This technique reduces the risk of failing to identify source areas between sample locations and leads to fewer investigative locations. This presentation includes a case study where HVS was used to understand source area geometry beneath a nearly 1 million square foot building. In addition, since developing HVS, Geosyntec has identified a number of different uses for the HVS technique, such as for getting pneumatic data for mitigation design, locating preferential pathways, and calculating a building-specific attenuation factor.
