All Case Histories

Drinking Water Supply and Quality – Selyanchina, Ukraine

portfolio typeCase HistoriesPosted on

Mundell provided manpower and funding for a Hydrogeologist to join a research team in northern Ukraine. The purpose of this small research team (4 members) was to examine various aspects of village life and develop specific plans for an American charity to provide targeted aid where it is most needed. The report of the research team was used to open discussions with the American charity and Ukrainian officials. As a result of the research team, several subsequent teams have been sent to continue working with local Ukrainian aid organizations and village leaders……Read More »

Expert Witness Testimony, Petroleum Storage Facility Litigation

portfolio typeCase HistoriesPosted on

Mundell was retained by a major law firm specializing in environmental law, to provide expert witness testimony in various legal proceedings relating to a release of petroleum at a major bulk storage facility in the Midwest. Mundell reviewed the groundwater model and the resulting conclusions, finding significant flaws in the construction of the model and the interpretation of the actual groundwater flow conditions. Mundell created various visual aids and models to effectively communicate the relatively complex hydrogeologic concepts to people with little to no geologic background including the litigants, judges, and potential jurors in the case. …..Read More »

Mundell mapped out subfloor utilities and clear over forty (40) proposed soil boring locations at an active automotive production plant in Indianapolis, Indiana, as part of an ongoing environmental sampling program. Mundell selected ground penetrating radar (GPR) mapping to locate utilities across the site. This technique allowed for worry-free drilling, and also increased production, as many boring were moved to areas not containing reinforced concrete. …..Read More »

In the end, a single, 3,000 gallon UST was located and determined to be the source of significant soil and groundwater impacts across the site. The use of geophysics on this project was crucial to its successful completion……Read More »

Subsidence Study Using Geophysics

portfolio typeCase HistoriesPosted on

Mundell was contracted to examine an area experiencing subsidence in the backyard of a local residence, which was located near a quarry. The results of the ground-penetrating radar (GPR) survey and 2D resistivity profiles suggested that the subsidence was most likely caused by deep, vertical soil movement which may have been the result of settlement of the unconsolidated soils or soil loss into the underlying bedrock due to quarry activities. …..Read More »
