Equipment and instrumentation |
Subsurface Investigations
(soil and groundwater) |
2 Geoprobe® direct push rigs: a track-mounted DT54 and a truck-mounted 5400
Customized sampling equipment,including a profiling system based on the Waterloo Profiler™, to facilitate the collection of groundwater samples under zero-headspace conditions from discrete depth intervals
Specialized system for installing multilevel groundwater sampling wells, enabling simultaneous sampling at discrete depth intervals
Support equipment, including multi-probes, which allow for the online monitoring of conductivity, DO, ORP, pH, and temperature in groundwater under zero-headspace conditions
Soil augers, bailers, and peristaltic pumps to aid in the collection of samples |
Atmosphere |
Tekran® automated atmospheric mercury auto-analyzer
Hi-vol, low-vol, and wet/dry deposition samplers
Atmospheric sampling equipment, including automated carbonyl, bulk deposition, and mercury/nitrogen samplers |
Water Quality Studies
(marine and freshwater) |
12 ISCO® water samplers
16’ V-hull center console boat
12’ flat-bottom boat
Hach portable spectrophotometer
YSI® and Hydrolab water quality multi-probes
Inserts and flow meters for storm water sampling
System for the online monitoring of conductivity, DO, ORP, pH, and temperature in water under zero-headspace conditions
System for online monitoring of water quality parameters
Dredges and box corers, kemmerer water sampling bottles, bailers, and peristaltic pumps to aid in the collection of samples |
