Monitoring Well Installation, Sampling and Abandonment

​

Our team of licensed professionals drills monitoring wells to measure the quality of groundwater in areas of suspected or known contamination. GeoPro owns the generalized and specialized soil boring and soil condition monitoring equipment to fit all types of conditions.

​

• Temporary overburden wells

• Overburden wells

• Bedrock wells

• Vapor Extraction Wells

• Air Sparge Wells

• Cathodic Protection Wells

​

Recovery Wells (Extraction Wells)

When contamination is known to be present, GeoPro installs recovery wells to pump and treat the contaminated water.

​

Certified Well Decommissioning/Sealing

GeoPro is certified to perform and highly experienced in well decommissioning and sealing activities.

​

Hollow Stem Auger Drilling

Effective in unconsolidated soil, sand and clay, hollow stem augers attached to the rig can drill and sample soil borings and install monitoring wells.

​

Angled Geology Probing

GeoPro can determine if contamination extends under a structure.  We also offer angled and horizontal drilling capabilities.

​

Aquifer Testing

GeoPro can use aquifer tests to determine the hydraulic properties of confined, leaky confined, unconfined and fractured aquifers

​

Geotechnical Drilling

Utilizing direct push technology, our licensed probe operators use a range of equipment to delineate and characterize the subsurface terrain.

​

Test Boring and Core Drilling

During the exploration phase of a project GeoPro can drill core holes to identify where, and at what depth, certain geological formations are present. 

 

GeoPro always works to minimize the environmental impact of core drilling activities.

​

Piezometer Installation

Piezometers can be installed through hollow stem augers, air rotary holes, and rock core holes.

​

Inclinometer Installation

GeoPro can install inclinometers to monitor subsurface movement and provide information on developing instabilities. This allows engineers to make informed decisions on possible remedial actions.
