Case HistoriesPosted on
After a combination of field observations, geologic knowledge, and geophysical measurements, a soil boring was drilled at the site of a proposed runway extension and an extensive void was observed with the downhole camera. As a result of Mundell’s Geophysical Services, the runway design was improved to account for the bedrock features……Read More »

Case HistoriesPosted on
In 2006, Mundell was retained to provide consulting services at a Ball State University steam generation facility that had been the subject of environmental investigative activities since 1993 when it was discovered that that fuel oil had been released from an on-site underground storage tank. After historical review and site investigations, Mundell determined that: (1) groundwater impacts were limited in effect and distribution; (2) the vapor exposure pathway was incomplete, and; (3) SPH materials were effectively immobilized within a geologic formation beneath the site. Mundell then proposed a risk-based approach to achieve site closure without further monitoring or remediation, including the placement of an Environmental Restrictive Covenant (ERC) on the property that defined a specific zone of soil impacts, restricted uncontrolled groundwater use, and limited future usage of the property to non-residential purposes……Read More »

Soil and groundwater contaminated with Perchloroethene (PCE) was discovered at the a dry cleaner site in Columbus, Indiana during a Phase I Investigation. In an effort to bring the remedial efforts to an effective closure, Mundell was retained by a partnering consulting firm to evaluate the stability of the dissolved organic plume using groundwater flow and chemical transport modeling……Read More »

In an effort to reduce groundwater treatment system costs, Mundell decided to turn over the operation and maintenance (O&M) of one of its remediation systems to a sub-contractor located much closer to the system than Mundell. Mundell developed and then trained the sub-contractor using the step by step written guidelines for all routine maintenance procedures, site visit procedures, and sampling procedures. These procedures allow Mundell to retain responsible oversight of the system O&M with minimal time invested……Read More »

To ensure that as much warm air as possible is delivered through your central system, check the ductwork and wrap any leaks with duct mastic. Distribution losses (what’s lost while air is transported from your furnace through ductwork to the vents) often amounts to 30%. So, sealing ductwork could increase efficiency and the warm air you receive considerably … keeping you warmer and making your furnace work less.
