INTRODUCTION
Nilex’s Soil Gas Barrier Systems use geomembranes to inhibit the seepage of gases, such as radon and methane from one area to another. These systems can be installed under or around concrete foundations and floors to prevent the build-up of dangerous gases in building structures, eliminating potential indoor air quality health risks associated with subsurface contaminant vapor intrusion. Any gas that is generated under the building is transported through the system and then vented safely to the outside.
Nilex offers geomembrane liner installation, design assistance, fabrication and construction services for containment applications.
