Denver Methane Mitigation Systems for Redevelopment & Construction
The Hazards of Methane Gas
Methane is a colorless, odorless, and highly flammable gas naturally found beneath former oil fields, landfills, and industrial sites across Denver, Colorado. While methane is not toxic, it can build up and cause explosions and oxygen displacement, endangering construction workers and future building occupants.
Denver’s redevelopment of former industrial zones and brownfields along the Front Range increases the risk of methane migration through soil. Without proper mitigation, projects can face DDPHE permit issues, safety hazards, and costly redesigns.
When to Test for Methane in Denver
Testing and mitigation are critical in the following scenarios:
- Due Diligence Before Construction: Especially near landfills, oil and gas wells, or historical industrial areas.
- During a Phase II ESA: Required if soil gas data indicate methane presence. If present, mitigation is the next step.
- During Site Grading or Excavation: Disturbing subsoils may release trapped methane gas.
- When Required by Regulation: The Denver Department of Public Health & Environment (DDPHE) and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) may require testing or mitigation plans for redevelopment projects.
Early testing avoids redesigns, delays, and regulatory setbacks.
