Fuel Farm Remediation System Design, Installation, and Operation
GCE quickly responded to the needs of MCAS Yuma when a large, out of town firm failed to adequately perform their scope of work to characterize and remediate a JP-8 fuel release. Within 4 months, GCE completely characterized the vertical and lateral extent of fuel contamination, designed, installed, and operated the Soil Vapor Extraction (SVE) system on site. MCAS Yuma was extremely pleased with GCE’s personal attention to detail in the overall comple-tion of this successful project.
Under the direct supervision of the Stacy Gutierrez, GCE prepared a formal SAP, QAPP, and HASP, ahead of schedule. Once the documents were approved, the soil borings and monitoring wells were strategically installed to characterize the soil and groundwater contaminant plume as well as to delineate the edge of an adjacent free phase hydrocarbon plume.
GCE designed a Soil Vapor Extraction (SVE) system for the removal of JP-8 from the subsurface. Due to the adjacent free product plume, GCE’s original scope expanded to include design and installation of a series of passive inlet wells to create a vapor barrier between this site and the adjacent free product plume. GCE’s innovative approach to this subsurface condition prevented commingling of the contaminant plumes.
As a full service engineering and consulting firm, GCE personnel installed a SVE system, which they currently operate and maintain. GCE conducts the ongoing operations and maintenance activities for the SVE unit including weekly air sampling for volatile organics. No change orders were incurred for this project.
GCE successfully completed the soil borings, well installations, sampling, site characterization, innovative design and SVE installation. GCE completed this project on time and within the original budget. This project demonstrates GCE’s ability to successfully complete field investigations and remedial activities. Additionally, this project demonstrates GCE’s innovation and commitment to the success of each project.
