An Overview of Direct Push Technology

Abstract

A thorough site investigation is one of the first steps in the assessment and eventual remediation of a contaminated site. The traditional site investigation usually involves mobilizing a drilling rig and using off site laboratories to assess samples. A new approach to site assessment is now becoming commonplace, and is providing an alternative to the traditional approach. This new approach combines 'direct push 'sampling' with a mobile laboratory to provide a less expensive, more rapid site assessment
