Fate and Transport Modeling

Fate and transport modeling is a tool that aids in the analysis of flow and contaminant transport in groundwater, soil and air.  These modeling efforts assist in the prediction of potential impacts to surface-water bodies, water supplies as well as predicting the migration of vapors into buildings.  With the advent of risk assessment as an accepted tool in the development of remedial alternatives, modeling has become a critical tool to support these efforts.

Significant economic benefits have resulted from modeling efforts. By mathematically demonstrating no impact to human health and the environment, Genesis Project has successfully demonstrated that “no action” alternatives or reduced remedial action is necessary at a site.

Models can range from simple analytical solutions to complex 3-D transport studies. Genesis Project selects which model to utilize based on site-specific conditions.  The objectives are to provide sufficient data to determine whether site impacts could potentially affect human health or the environment and develop the appropriate remedial response.  This approach not only is protective of human health and the environment but also has resulted in significant cost savings for our clients.
