Project scope and field context

After two months of pre-project engineering and preparation, ATI Companies performed a direct-push technology (DPT) forensic study at a site suspected to be the burial location of a missing woman. ATI was contracted to do the work by a local police department and worked in coordination with the University of South Florida’s (USF) Forensic Anthropology Department. Prior to initiation of the work, ATI helped develop a soil sampling plan intended to recover lipid fat evidence from specific x, y, and z coordinates using the DPT tool. ATI advanced horizontal boreholes to collect undisturbed soil samples from below a concrete building slab. ATI used Geoprobe’s 2.25-inch diameter rods with LB piston and a new dual-tube system that ATI designed in-house.
