This 2,000 SF project was
installed on a former gas station site. The location had been
remediated and the soil had been replaced but there was still
concern that residual petroleum product contamination could
surface and contaminate the interior air quality of the restaurant.
Starbucks requested Liquid Boot as the gas vapor mitigation
barrier/venting system. The contractor placed the Geovent around
the perimeter of the slab area in a prescribed pattern to allow
passive removal of gas vapors. The Geovent was connected with
fittings at the grade beam to allow eventual connection with
rooftop access and vapor relief.
Next, the contractor placed Liquid Boot G-1000 fabric on the
compacted soil and detailed around plumbing penetrations with
Liquid Boot Detailing Liquid. The entire surface including
the area under the grade beams was then sprayed with Liquid
Boot Membrane to a thickness of 100 mils. The pipe penetrations
were sealed with additional sprayed membrane to complete the
gas vapor seal. The concrete slab was then placed conventionally
to complete this application.
