Project scope and field context
ATI Companies provided environmental drilling services for Tetra Tech, Inc., at a site located adjacent to an active, commercial satellite launch pad on a former Air Force complex at Cape Canaveral, Florida. The objective of the project was to assist in 3-dimensional (3-D) modeling of several known groundwater contaminant plumes and in assessment of the plumes. To meet these objectives, ATI performed a series of soil borings, some to 100 feet, in a grid pattern in order to collect groundwater quality data that were used to develop a 3-D image of the plumes and to select groundwater monitoring well locations. In the borings, groundwater samples were collected every 10 feet as casing and screen were retracted from the borehole. The borings were advanced and samples collected using a direct-push technology probe. ATI then installed groundwater monitoring wells at locations based, in part, on analysis of the 3-D images.
