TECHNOLOGY
Enprob uses Geoprobe Systems ® direct push technology. Direct push involves the use of small (1.25" to 1.5") steel probes that are hydraulically pushed or hammered into the underlying soil formation to a specific depth. At this depth, the operator may extract a soil core or a groundwater or gas sample.
Direct push technology is an extremely cost-effective approach to soil and groundwater sampling for the following reasons:
- Fast probing: typical penetration rates of 5-25 feet per minute, depending on site conditions.
- Fast sampling: up to 50 soil samples per day.
- Eliminating the need for concrete or asphalt coring: our Geoprobe units are equipped to cut right through these surfaces.
- Eliminating the need for drums and costly waste disposal: no unwanted contaminated soil cuttings or groundwater is generated.
- Minimal site disturbance: little or no interference with normal site activities.
Enprob maintains a fleet of the most up-to-date rigs and associated equipment, including the Geoprobe 5400, 5410 (based in Santa Cruz, CA, with one or two-man crew), and 6600 (two-man crew), the 540MT Limited-Access Rig, the GS1000 and GS2000 Grout Machines, and a trailer-mounted RegenOx™ pump system.
Each rig is completely equipped with appropriate tooling and supplies, such as a trailer-mounted steam cleaner and pressure washers, custom hot tank trailer for heating HRC® compound, and hi-pressure grout pumps. Click on an image below for more information.
