TRIAD

S2C2 has been a leader in developing on-site characterization methodologies and dynamic work strategies integral to the Triad approach. S2C2 believes that to execute an efficient TRIAD process it is necessary to maximize the amount of data collected and analyzed every day. Many data points collected vertically at multiple depths and horizontally throughout the critically impacted area provides a complete description of the contamination and leaves all parties involved with a confident framework to establish risk based and /or remedial decisions. S2C2 has all the tools and experience necessary to complete a successful Triad program including direct-sensing probes, mobile laboratories, direct-push units, and data management and visualization capabilities.

TRIAD is an integrated approach using rapid sampling techniques coupled with on-site analysis and data displays to direct and manage the investigation.  TRIAD radically compresses the time to perform Remedial Investigations (RIs) and to interpret collected data.  Essentially, a “dynamic” work plan is employed which allows in-field decision making to select sampling locations based upon results from previous samples.  In this manner, the characterization process converges on the target area, which then becomes the focus of remediation efforts to achieve accelerated site closure.  The TRIAD process is gaining national recognition as an effective alternative characterization process.

Executing an TRIAD site characterization takes more than just the right technologies.  The professionals responsible for the project need to be in the field and fully experienced with on-site decision making practices for environmental projects.  A complete understanding of the geology and hydrology at the site is required, coupled with experience with typical migration pathways for classes of contaminants.  Environmental cleanup projects are usually complex and therefore require a team of experienced geologists, chemists, and hydrologists.  S₂C₂  has the professionals with the depth of experience and the training required to execute an effective TRIAD characterization.
