BEACON SELECTED TO CHARACTERIZE URBAN RENEWAL AREA IN NEW YORK CITY

Beacon Environmental has been awarded a contract to characterize a multi-acre area within New York City as part of an Urban Renewal Area program. Beacon Environmental was selected after performing a side-by-side demonstration of capabilities with another passive soil gas vendor. Data from both companies were reviewed by the contractor, NYC Department of Health, and the U.S. EPA prior to the selection of Beacon Environmental. The selection of our technology further validates the value of the BeSure Passive Soil Gas method over other soil gas technologies being offered in the market.

BEACON PERFORMS PASSIVE SOIL GAS SURVEYS ON MULTIPLE SITES IN THE MIDDLE EAST

BeSure Passive Soil Gas Kits™ have been employed at multiple sites in the Middle East to characterize sites for releases of petroleum contamination and to delineate the extent of the contamination. BEACON continues to provide BeSure Kits™ to our clients around the world to destinations such as Canada, Mexico, Europe and Asia, where in all those areas regulatory acceptance of our methods is becoming commonplace. BeSure Kits™ contain adsorbents that trap trace levels of compounds so the Kits easily make it through customs without incident, unlike shipping soil or groundwater samples internationally. Also, the holding time for our adsorbent samplers is at least four weeks, which ensures holding times will not be exceeded when collecting samples over an extended time and returning them all in one shipment.

BEACON INNOVATIONS AND RESEARCH

Beacon Environmental has developed a technique to enable the determination of passive soil gas concentration from an array of sorbed masses on a compound to compound basis and has completed two applied research projects that involve the comparison of various methods of vapor intrusion and indoor air testing methods.

NEW LOOK. SAME RELIABILITY, ACCURACY AND TIMELINESS.
