Keep Your Community Safe With Methane Mitigation Systems
How Methane Impacts the Community
Methane is a colorless, odorless, and highly flammable gas commonly found in landfills, former industrial sites, and areas with organic-rich soils. While not toxic like some chemical vapors, methane poses serious explosion and asphyxiation risks when it accumulates in confined spaces.
In urban infill projects or developments on reclaimed land, methane migration through soil can endanger both construction crews and future occupants. Without proper mitigation, it can also trigger permit denials, failed inspections, or even emergency shutdowns.
When to Test for Methane
Testing and mitigation should be considered in these situations:
- Pre-Construction Due Diligence: Particularly on or near former landfills, swamps, or oil fields.
- As Part of a Phase II ESA: When previous site use or soil gas data indicates elevated methane.
- During Site Grading and Excavation: Disturbing subsoil layers can release trapped methane.
- Where Local Regulations Require It: Many municipalities (especially in California and the Southwest U.S.) mandate methane mitigation plans before development proceeds.
Early testing helps avoid costly redesigns and delays later in the project.
