Success in Finding Lost Wells with GPR and DPGS Mapping at Private Commercial Facility in Philadelphia, PA
Project Description:
Over the winter, without knowing or approval, 2-3 feet of a mixed-fill was layered on top of the existing surface for the trucks and fleet to navigate the terrain of the facility. This caused the existing monitoring wells on-site to be buried and lost. To avoid having to redrill or reinstall new monitoring wells, our technicians were called in to try and locate the lost wells. After calibrating the equipment to the challenging conditions and environment, the technicians were able to collect enough conclusive data to uncover and find the buried/lost monitoring wells. To ensure these wells weren’t “lost” again, the technicians captured the locations with the DPGS mapping Geode, which overlays directly over Google Earth for the client to access for future sampling.
