OBJECTIVE: The course objective is to provide hands-on training to attendees for operating Geoprobe^® direct-push equipment.
 
COURSE TOPICS: The course will address various soil, soil gas & groundwater sampling techniques using Geoprobe^® sampling equipment, including grout and ORC injection. The instructor demonstrates soil collection methods using open and closed system Macrocore and Large Bore samplers; application using the expendable points for collection of soil gas and groundwater grab samples; including more sophisticated groundwater sampling methods using the screen 15 system, GW profiler and pre-packed and non-prepacked well screens installation inside hollow stem Geoprobe^® rods. The course includes a discussion of NJ regulations and OHSA requirements and detailed discussion of utility markouts. Although the course has a defined format covering approximately 4 hours of training, the course can be specifically tailored to meet your Geoprobe^® application needs.
