Soil vapour sampling and investigations are new concepts to many consultants in Alberta. In anticipation of the new regulatory framework where site investigations will need to include soil vapour intrusion, Maxxam Analytics is hosting informative and practical hands-on training workshops to help our customers obtain technical knowledge and sampling experience. These sessions are designed to introduce our customers to soil vapour sampling, and helping avoid costly mistakes in the future. Geosyntec was recently retained by the MOE to provide theoretical and technical knowledge on air and soil vapour sampling to ministry environmental regulators and staff.
