Investigative Tools
Our firm is accomplished in site investigation and remediation for industrial and commercial sites, brownfields and facility compliance and closures. A representative sampling of our investigative tools includes:
Continuous Multichannel Tubing®
This new, multilevel monitoring system to provides a simple, low cost method for installing up to seven discrete depth screened intervals (not piezometers) in the same borehole. CMTs provide detailed 3-D water level and water quality data, allowing zones of high concentrations to be identified quickly and with less risk of “missing” small, preferential pathways that may not be detected with traditional wells with longer well screens.
Micro-Wells
Our firm has installed micro-wells versus traditional larger wells at sites to achieve cost savings. These wells are smaller in diameter (3/4" - 1") than conventional 2" diameter wells, can be installed rapidly using a Geoprobe® rig at low cost, can be made temporary or permanent and can be sampled using several standard groundwater sampling methods.
Horizontal Wells for Hydraulic Control and Sparging/Venting
Our firm utilizes horizontal wells either to recover and control groundwater, or as a sparging/soil vapor extraction system. Horizontal well implementation is preferred under building foundations and other inaccessible areas where vertical drilling is not possible.
