One of the Ambient Technologies Drilling Teams completed Direct Push Technology (DPT) Drilling, Soil & Water Sampling and Monitoring Wells installations for a Level II Contamination Assessment, at several FDOT D7 locations in Tampa, Florida. The drilling and sampling locations were off I-275 from North of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to North of Bears Avenue. The purpose of the investigation was to prepare the area for roadway improvements that can include roadway widening, drainage, utilities, lighting, milling & resurfacing, and bridges.

Using a Geoprobe 6680DT, Ambient Technologies was able to accomplish the required Scope of Work within the time and budget allocated. The Scope of Work included 127 Soil Borings (direct push continuous macrocore sampling) at approximately 50 ft spacing to 12 feet in depth, 22 Soil Borings and Ground Water Samples TD and 17 Temporary Wells in specific locations. Collected soil samples at 12-inch depth intervals to the water table surface. All the soil borings included hand clearing to 5 feet. Soil Borings were grouted and patched once completed.

Installed 17 temporary wells in specific soil borings and collected groundwater samples for laboratory analysis.
