Hefty Soil Gas Probe System

PES’s - Rotary Hefty System is the most rugged electric hammer driven system available. The 7/8 inch hollow steel shafts are sufficiently rugged to allow penetration/soil sampling to depths of 25 feet in average sandy soils.   Capabilities include not only shield Point installation but Shield Screens for mini-well sampling, soil vapor assessment and Sparge points (used in remediation actions). The ability to reach depths to 25 ft. in limited access situations such as basements and between structures make this hand held equipment option both technically and cost effective.

Benefits:

• Portable
• Cost effective, convenient, accurate sampling
• Easy, single operator use
• Immediate on-site information availability with use of portable meters
• Easy collection of samples for laboratory analysis
• Durable and field-rugged
• Low-cost permanent monitoring point installation (Shield Point*)
• Use in basements, between buildings, other difficult physical conditions

Features:

• Hollow, hardened, nickel-plated steel alloy shafts
• Cost effective site investigative sampling of soil, soil gas, and water for on-site or laboratory analysis
• Smooth shaft coupling by internal thread nipples eliminates unnecessary insertion and removal friction
• Larger system allows penetration to 25 feet in average sandy soils
• Rotary electric hammer with masonry bit allows drilling through asphalt and concrete prior to sampler insertion
