Alleviating Harmful Vapors in New Mexico
What is Vapor Intrusion Mitigation?
In New Mexico, vapor intrusion is a growing concern, especially in areas with historic mining, industrial operations, or proximity to hazardous material sites. Methane and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) migrate through the soil and can enter buildings through foundation cracks, utility penetrations, or other gaps. Once inside, these toxic vapors may cause respiratory issues, neurological damage, or cancer with prolonged exposure.
This threat exists throughout a property’s life, from development and occupancy to post-use and abandonment. Properties on or near brownfields, DOE cleanup sites, dry cleaners, fueling stations, or former military installations are particularly vulnerable.
At Advanced Construction Technologies (ACT), we provide comprehensive, science-based vapor mitigation services that protect indoor air quality and help property owners meet New Mexico’s environmental standards, keeping people safe and sites compliant.
Our Vapor Intrusion Mitigation Process
New Mexico’s dry climate, expansive soils, and diverse land use history require a customized approach to vapor intrusion mitigation. Whether you’re building on tribal lands, near a former uranium site, or redeveloping commercial property in Albuquerque or Santa Fe, ACT delivers precision and peace of mind.
We install both passive and active vapor mitigation systems, built around a proven process that includes:
- Site Assessment – Comprehensive soil vapor testing and risk mapping.
- System Design & Planning – Tailored to NMED and EPA Region 6 regulatory requirements.
- Installation – With durable, climate-appropriate materials designed for long-term performance.
- Monitoring & Maintenance – Including 24/7 alert systems, sensor integrations, and documentation for regulatory compliance.
We also offer value engineering, accurate bid generation, and proactive project management, ensuring every detail is handled with care and transparency.
