Fort Worth, TX - Gas Vapor Mitigation Solution at Chik-Fil-A

PROJECT: Chik-Fil-A
LOCATION: Fort Worth, TX
PRODUCTS: Liquid Boot® PLUS Gas Vapor Mitigation System with VI-20™ Geomembrane GeoVent™ Gas Venting System

CASE STUDY

BACKGROUND: The owner of the former manufacturing site and the engineer understood the value of having a barrier with superior vapor resistance and a long standing track record to protect the indoor air quality of the restaurant.

CHALLENGE: Residual VOCs in the soil generated from former manufacturing facilities previously
located on the site created a potential air quality issue due the possibility of sub-slab vapor
intrusion.

SOLUTION: The Liquid Boot® PLUS System was installed with a low profi le venting system. With the understanding that the client is extremely conscientious when creating a quality work environment and visiting space for customers, it was decided that the Liquid Boot® PLUS system, with its superior resistance to VOC vapors, would be the best product for this location. The Liquid Boot® PLUS system incorporates CETCO’s GeoVent™ low-profi le venting system, VI-20™ composite geomembrane (green
material in images), CETCO’s Liquid Boot® spray-applied membrane and UltraShield™ G-1000 protection course.

RESULT: With a successful installation of the Liquid Boot® PLUS system, accompanied with CETCO’s QA/QC procedures, including a non-destructive smoke test, this structure has the most advanced vapor mitigation barrier on the market to protect the indoor air quality from vapor intrusion.
