| Geoprobe® Hydraulic Subsurface Media Probing Services |
 |
| The Geoprobe® probing units are vehicle-mounted hydraulically-powered machines that use static and dynamic percussion force to advance small diameter sampling tools to retrieve:
• soil samples
• groundwater samples
• soil gas samples |
The Geoprobe® units provide the speed, mobility, and diversification necessary to maximize the number of samples obtained without increasing costs. |

Basics of the Geoprobe®:
• Hydraulic powered probe unit operated from a hydraulic system and driven by the vehicle engine.
• Remote vehicle ignition allows operator to start engine from rear compartment.
• Belt driven hydraulic pump supplies 10 gpm at 2000 rpm, 3000 psi operating pressure.
• Probe unit folds from transport.
• Utilizes static force (weight and vehicle) and percussion hammer to advance probing tools.
• Hydraulic hammer delivers percussion rate of 30 Hz.
• Probes have greater than 18,000 lbs down force and 25,000 lbs of retraction force.
• Drives multiple diameter probes (1", 1.25" and 2.25") to depths over 100 ft. |
