The Model 660 Profiler is designed to be a preliminary site
assessment tool. It enables the collection of groundwater samples
from multiple points in a single drive/drilling location, at discrete
zones. Profiler transects allow:
High resolution sampling
Contaminant vs. depth profiling
Detailed plume delineation
The Drive-Point Profiler was originally developed at the
University of Waterloo and is described in various papers. A rig
pushes, vibrates, or hammers the Profiler and attached AW rod
to the desired depth.
The Profiler is 1.75” (45 mm) in diameter, stainless steel, with
a row of screened inlet holes set circumferentially. The inlet
holes lead to a single stainless steel fitting, where 4 mm LDPE
or PTFE sample line leads to a Peristaltic Pump at surface. (See
Solinst Model 410 Data Sheet.)
