Radon is typically reduced by installing a system that creates a vacuum
beneath
the structure which is larger in strength that the vacuum applied to the
underlying soil by the building itself. This method (active soil
depressurization) collects the
radon laden soil gases before they enter a building and exhausts them to a
safe
location above the building. The success of this approach depends upon
the ability
to draw air from beneath the foundation, which in-turn is dependent upon
soil
permeability, obstructions such as grade beams, and foundation walls.
The
proper location of suction points is critical in developing a
cost-effective approach.
Although building plans are helpful, field work is often
necessary to simulate an actual system to determine the best location or
required number of suction points.
CVC technicians are very experienced in
performing field diagnostics that form the basis for successful radon
mitigation.
Final Report
CVC's final design reports are clear and concise with
sufficient detail for obtaining fixed bids from qualified contractors. CVC's approach of providing non-scaled
drawings, aided by annotated digital photographs, has been
extremely cost-effective. CVC has
also developed designs for implementation by the
client's maintenance personnel. This has been very effective for school district staff.
