Oil Well Pad Landslide Repair

Abstract: A wetter than usual spring season caused numerous landslides in the Badland Region of North Dakota, including the failure of the Mormon Butte oil well platform after thirty years of active service. This case study will detail the site investigation, design, and construction of a geologically sensitive site located on U.S. Forest Service land. The main concern was how much failed soil could be removed without compromising the well. Analyses were performed to determine a safe temporary slope to allow for the removal of some of the failed soils. To read more on how the platform was completed and...

Minimize Risk with Radon Measurement and Mitigation Services

What is Radon? Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is colorless, odorless and tasteless. Exposure to elevated radon concentrations increases the risk of lung cancer. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), radon is the number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers and is the second leading cause of lung cancer overall. Radon comes from the natural (radioactive) breakdown of uranium in rocks and soil and can enter homes, apartment units, and other buildings through cracks and other openings in the foundations. High radon levels exist in every state in the U.S. and vary widely from building to...
