Soil Vapor Pilot Testing in Southern California by Soil Vapor Extraction Service Inc

Field-tested methodologies and results grounded in actual performance to support system design and agency approval.

Your Project Needs Pilot Testing

When regulators require soil vapor pilot testing, they need surety of system effectiveness and long-term compliance.

Skipping this phase can cost you dearly:

  • System inefficiency leads to redesigns and extra costs.
  • Regulatory delays cease your project for months.
  • Non-compliance risks lead to penalties or put a full stop to your project.

So, why delay your project?

A pilot environmental study gives you the scientific proof regulators expect and provides the performance data engineers need to size your system correctly. Don’t consider it optional; it’s smart risk management.

How We Deliver Soil Vapor Pilot Testing Services

S.V.E. Inc.’s certified team delivers comprehensive pilot testing services designed to give you actionable data for faster approvals and confidence in your remediation strategy.

Here’s how S.V.E. Inc. delivers soil vapor pilot testing service

Flow rate & vacuum measurements to determine system performance under site-specific conditions.

Radius of Influence (ROI) Assessment to measure how far the applied vacuum reaches in the subsurface.

Leak detection and verification to identify leaks that compromise system efficiency.

Regulatory-ready documentation to make reports tailored for submittal to various agencies.

Why it matters:

The data collected during a pilot test drives SVE system sizing, blower selection, and cost projections that ensure your design meets performance goals and compliance standards.

How We Carry Out the Soil Vapor Pilot Testing Process

We’ve spent over a decade refining a step-by-step pilot environmental testing process that delivers clarity and compliance for environmental professionals.

Site evaluation and test point layout to identify strategic test well locations.

Test the well installation and system setup to ensure precise depth and seal integrity.

Pilot test execution to measure ROI, vacuum, and flow rates under controlled conditions.

Data analysis and performance modeling to translate raw data into actionable design metrics.

Regulatory reporting to prepare detailed documentation for agency review and approval.

S.V.E. Inc. Installation Process

When you work with us, you avoid guesswork and pass inspections the first time. Because with S.V.E., you’re partnering with specialists trusted by environmental consultants, engineers, and developers across Southern California.

Site Characterization & Pilot Testing

Whether in Los Angeles industrial corridors or Palm Desert commercial sites, we assess soil permeability before starting design. We analyze contaminants and test vapor pressure to validate feasibility.

Custom System Design

We use airflow modeling and calculate the vacuum radius. Our certified team selects equipment according to your performance goals and budget, keeping soil vapor extraction costs under control.

Installation & Startup

Our certified crews handle well construction and blower installation, and ensure your system operates flawlessly from day one, whether you’re in Torrance, San Bernardino, or Oxnard.

Monitoring Performance & Optimization

We track vacuum, flow rates, and contaminant recovery, making adjustments to maintain compliance and efficiency throughout your project.
