Geoprobe® brand soil probing equipment has been used to depths exceeding 100 feet (30 m) in many areas of the United States and overseas. It’s hydraulically powered either from a vehicle or an auxiliary engine. It can be used for collecting soil cores, groundwater samples, and soil gas samples.
Is Geoprobe direct push?
Geoprobe pioneered Direct Push Subsurface Sampling Technology in 1987. Geoprobe direct push machines rely on a relatively small amount of static (vehicle) weight combined with percussion as the energy for advancing a tool string.
What is environmental drilling?
Environmental drilling is a way to investigate and delineate subsurface conditions and monitor them over time. The data collected may be used to identify areas of soil or groundwater contamination, log water table depths, or monitor and confirm the efficacy of remediation efforts.
What is Geoprobe?
geoprobe in British English (ˈdʒiːəʊˌprəʊb) noun. geology. a probing device used for sampling soil.
What is direct push drilling?
Direct push technology, often referred to as DPT, uses the static weight of the rig combined with a hydraulic hammer to advance tooling or instrumentation through the subsurface. Unlike rotary, the drill cuttings are not removed from the hole.
How does a split spoon sampler work?
The split spoon sampler is a tube split into two equal halves lengthwise. The two halves are locked together during the sampling activities and released to retrieve the samples. At bottom end of the sampler sits a driving shoe. This is what cuts into the soil and provides the sample that goes up into the tube.
What are the two types of drilling technique for soil?
Direct air rotary drilling and reverse air drilling are the most common types. This method penetrates the ground quickly and can penetrate hard formations easily. Air rotary drilling is good for setting monitoring wells at specified layers as well as taking good representative samples of soil at different layers.
How much do Geoprobes weigh?
Base Unit Weight: 8,160 lb. (3,701 kg.) With Typical Options: 9,560 lb.
Why choose a Geoprobe drilling rig?
Because of the mobility of Geoprobe drilling rigs and due to the smaller size of the machine and the tracks, we are able to perform direct push drilling in most site conditions.
What is Geoprobe systems ®?
Founded by two engineers in 1987, Geoprobe Systems ® manufactured and introduced the first direct push machines and tooling to the environmental Industry, changing the way soil, groundwater, and soil gas samples were collected.
Why choose genuine Geoprobe ® for continuous soil sampling?
High-quality continuous samples require high-quality soil sampling tools. Depend on Genuine Geoprobe ® for durable tools which work right out of the packaging and can be shipped – often same day – to your shop or site to keep your own inventory costs in check. Geoprobe ® pioneered Direct Push Subsurface Sampling Technology in 1987.
Why slip with Geoprobe?
Slip into small spaces with big power to complete direct push. Since 1987, Geoprobe Systems ® has manufactured innovative drilling machines and tooling – engineered for efficiency and safety – simplifying drillers’ jobs and empowering technical drilling companies to succeed as productive and profitable leaders in their industry.
