This technology enables us to conduct measurements across the full sounding depth. This way we considerably reduce the probability of ‘missing’ the area of contamination.

Furthermore, we are able to develop specific profiles for each individual component. The advantage of this is that after calibration using standard solutions, we are able to compare the results with groundwater concentrations. This way the investigation can be continued to delineate the entire groundwater contamination plume.

In addition, by measuring the various individual components, a unique image of the degradation products of chlorinated solvents and the differential distribution of these products is obtained. However, the EnISSA MIP method can also detect and map out other parameters, such as: BTEX, MBTE, MEK, n-butyl acetate, hexane, acetone and the like. The result: useful information to help you design your remediation approach.

To collect specific geological and geohydrological information, the MIP probe is equipped with an integrated EC dipole. The purpose of this device is to be able to log the soil’s electric conductivity (mS/m). If you need even more detailed data, we can also combine the EnISSA MIP soundings with CPT or HPT measurements.
