Environmental fracturing for permeability enhancement creates stable permeable pathways through soils and bedrock. This enables liquid and vapour phase contaminant extraction and injection of chemical and biological solution amendments for in situ degradation.

Benefits:

- Increased bulk permeability in the subsurface,

- Increased contaminant extraction yields,

- Increased contact with contaminated soils, and

- Reduced number of boreholes required to extract or inject.
