Cost-Effective Tools for Investigations and Remedial Applications: Direct-Push Technology

Tuesday, December 2, 2008: 2:30 p.m.-4:00 p.m.
N242 (Las Vegas Convention Center)
Reduce the time required to conduct site investigations and accelerate the design of a ground water monitoring remediation system using direct-push technology (DPT). DPT can be an efficient, cost-effective approach to rapidly investigate a site’s stratigraphy, depositional environment, and contaminant distribution. This workshop provides you with an overview of DPT from cone penetrometer testing, soil and ground water samplers (including laser-induced fluorescence including ROST and the membrane interface probe, as well as the equipment, operations, measurements, sampling, calibration, and interpretation of data. Examples from investigations and remedial design using DPT will demonstrate the applicability of these methods. You are encouraged to bring your own DPT data to discuss with the instructors and your fellow course attendees.
