Successful sampling programs rarely follow a textbook. In this moderated, scenario driven panel discussion, experienced field professionals compare Direct Push Technology (DPT), auger, sonic, and rotary methods across real project conditions, helping you understand which tool performs best when the geology doesn’t cooperate.
Through real examples and candid field insights, panelists will cover how sampling technologies respond to challenges such as refusal, borehole instability, variable formations, and turbidity, or high sediment levels in groundwater. You’ll hear how teams evaluate site conditions, pivot when conditions change and maintain sample integrity under pressure.
By attending, you will learn how to:
- Identify best fit sampling technologies based on subsurface conditions, depth, and access limitations
- Anticipate and troubleshoot common field challenges, including early refusal and unstable formations
- Protect sample integrity and minimize cross contamination in both soil and groundwater programs
This session concludes with live audience Q&A to address your project specific challenges.
