Technology Demonstration of Sensor Applications to Direct Push Platforms and Monitoring and Operations

Abstract

Dakota Technologies, Inc. (DTI) demonstrated a real-time, direct push halogen specific detector (hereafter referred to as the Haloprobe) with the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Kansas City District (KCD) Site Characterization and Analyses Penetrometer System (SCAPS) crew. In December 2003, Mr. Jerry Hansen of Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence (AFCEE) coordinated the effort to mobilize equipment and personnel to a site on the former Rickenbacker Air Force Base in Columbus, OH. This site provided an excellent opportunity to train the SCAPS crew on the Haloprobe operations and to provide beneficial subsurface information to Shaw Environmental and the Air Force Real Property Agency for delineating trichloroethene (TCE) contamination near site Building 848. The work occurred in two phases, totaling 5 working days. 36 pushes were advanced, including 27 with the Haloprobe, 5 with laser induced fluorescence (LIF) probe, 3 for collection of soil samples, and 1 to condition a replaceable membrane.
