What WE Do
Taylor GeoServices (TGS) staff has assisted clients with their commercial, industrial and residential indoor building environmental assessments.
“All of us face a variety of risks to our health as we go about our day-to-day lives. Indoor air pollution is one risk that you can do something about.”
United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Taylor GeoServices provides sensible, cost-effective services to identify and mitigate air quality hazards, and assist our clients to comply with the complexity of regulations pertaining to air quality. Our staff understands the current issues, sampling protocols and equipment. We further understand that sources of poor air quality are ubiquitous and can involve costly sampling to address unknown issues. Likewise, ill-advised sampling locations or collection methods with limited quality control can exacerbate the project goals and compliance criteria. Therefore, TGS takes a refined approach to a project by first understanding the potential sources and tailoring a commonsense sampling plan to meet the project objectives.

Ventilation System Monitoring
Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, PA
Taylor Geoservices provided annual monitoring of the stadium’s passive ventilation subgrade gas collection system. Staff conducted routine vacuum testing, measured vacuum pressure, inspected valve boxes, used portable field equipment to test air quality.
Passive Gas Sampling
Closed Gasoline Station & Residential Properties, Pennsylvania
Passive gas sampling was conducted to determine the extent of subsurface vapors, which was used as a proxy for the spread of dissolved-phase contaminants in the groundwater. Passive gas sampling augmented the site characterization to identify limits of impact onto adjacent residential properties.
TGS installed 60 passive soil-gas (PSG) sample probes in the shallow subsurface around the site. The soil gas survey findings exhibited good correlation with groundwater sampling results, identifying the highest contaminant concentrations near the dispenser, and decreasing rapidly away from the source area, exhibiting nothing above background in the residential areas.
