Strataprobe Technical Information
STRATAPROBE™
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
TEG's STRATAPROBE™ sampling system is a hydraulic and percussion drive-point unit. Applications for STRATAPROBE™ include sampling of soil, soil vapor, groundwater and the installation of small diameter water wells, vapor wells and sparge points. The sampling unit is mounted on a four wheel drive, low profile truck. A 12' mast height and compact overall size allows sampling in previously inaccessible locations. STRATAPROBE™ is a quicker and more powerful than other direct-push systems, and is more cost effective and cleaner than conventional drilling methods.
STRATAPROBE™ SYSTEM APPLICATIONS
Soil Sampling
STRATAPROBE™ obtains both continuous and discrete soil samples using a combination piston/split barrel sampler. The piston prevents the sampler from filling as it is advanced to depth.
Advantages
- No cuttings
- Continuous coring
- Discrete interval sampling
- Split barrel sampler
- Brass, stainless steel, or acetate liners
Soil Vapor Sampling
The soil vapor collection systems uses a steel vapor tip that is shielded during the driving process. Once the desired sampling depth is reached, vapor is sampled via a small diameter tubing which runs down the center of the drive rod.
Advantages
- EPA and RWQCB accepted
- Depths to 50 feet
- Inert 1/8" (low dead volume) sampling tubing
- Easy to decontaminate
Groundwater Sampling
Groundwater is collected with a variety of tools including a bailer, downhole pump, or in-situ water sampler. Groundwater gradients are determined by installation of small-diameter piezometers.
Advantages
- Low turbidity samples
- Stainless steel screen
- Installation of temporary "Mini-Wells"
- Vertical water gradients
