From their base in Las Cruces, New Mexico, the Nielsen Environmental Field School staff travels across the U.S. to instruct numerous hands-on environmental field training programs on a wide variety of subject areas of utmost concern to the working environmental professional. Open-enrollment field courses are held at carefully selected locations across the U.S. that have proven to be popular destinations with students and where they have established field sites. Geotech is pleased to be added as a course site for Nielsen's Fall 2009 Field Course Schedule. The Complete Ground-Water Monitoring Well Design, Construction and Development |

AMS gas vapor probe kits are excellent for monitoring and sampling hydrocarbon spill sites, underground storage tanks and pipelines! The kits use an AMS slide hammer or an electric rotary drive hammer and GVP drive extensions to insert a stainless steel soil gas vapor probe (GVP) to the desired sampling depth. Fluoropolymer tubing is attached to a barb fitting on the GVP for remote sampling from the surface. A kit vacuum hand pump may be attached to the upper end of the tube to extract samples of soil gas and deliver them to a Tedlar bag. Alternatively most PID and FID hydrocarbon detection instruments are provided with a positive displacement pump that may be directly connected to the fluoropolymer tube to obtain a direct reading of hydrocarbon concentration. DEDICATED TIPS – The vapor inlet holes of the dedicated tips are slightly recessed and are protected by the drive tubes to prevent them from becoming clogged during installation. A Teflon umbrella can be placed above the inlet holes before installation and unfolds when the drive tube is removed. The Teflon umbrella creates a shield that further prevents dirt from plugging the inlet holes. RETRACT-ATIP - The retract-a-tip can be inserted and subsequently removed without damaging the tip. When the sampling depth is reached, the drive tube is pulled up to expose the inlet holes for sampling. The point can then be driven deeper, reopened, and another sample taken. Contact a Geotech soil specialist for more information about AMS gas vapor probe kits and how their different features may help you monitor and sample gas vapor in soil.

AMS Inc., is a leading provider of high quality sampling equipment. AMS sampling equipment is primarily used for environmental, geotechnical, and remediation uses as well as soil, soil gas, and groundwater monitoring, but also provides simple solutions for a variety of fields, including the agricultural industry. AMS has been a leader in soil gas sampling technologies since the development of the “original” AMS gas vapor probe. The “original” gas vapor probe is efficient, easy to use and relatively inexpensive. Initially designed to take shallow gas vapor samples in soils to depths of about 4', new technologies are allowing newer versions of the AMS gas vapor probe to easily sample to 12', depending on soil conditions. AMS has developed and patented the dedicated AMS gas vapor tip and the AMS Retract-A-Tip for soil gas monitoring and surveying as well as taking shallow groundwater samples. |

Geotech Welcomes Interns from Oman Standing left to right: Khalil Al-Azri, Jeff Popiel (Geotech President & CEO), Candice Popiel (Geotech Organizational Development) and Asma Al-Balushi. Please join Geotech’s home office in Denver as we welcome Ammar Al-Rawahi, Khalil Al-Azri, Aaisha Al-A'amri, Asma Al-Balushi and Fathiya Al-Zakwani, our esteemed guests and summer interns from the Middle Eastern country of Oman. The five are here until September 5th in conjunction with AIESEC (http://www.aiesec.org), a global, non-political, independent, not-for-profit organization which provides leadership training to university-aged participants through cultural exchange. |
AIESEC was formed in 1948 to help heal the wounds of World War II, and now provides traineeships in 107 countries. The AISEC-SALAAM program, initiated in response to 9/11, specifically aims to increase exchanges between the U.S. and the Middle East. Currently more than 70 American students and graduates have enjoyed the opportunity to work abroad in largely Islamic countries like Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia and the UAE, while 50 Middle Eastern students and graduates have come to study and learn in the United States. During the exchange, all trainees, with their local AIESEC chapters, participate in ongoing cultural activities and community volunteer programs to continue creating awareness and understanding between our vastly different (and yet, in some ways, surprisingly similar) cultures. |
| As an active member of the environmental equipment community, Geotech Environmental Equipment, Inc. supports programs and organizations recognized as the preeminent resources of technological and science-based advances in our industry. |
