Soil approach and soil sampling

• Practical exercises for handling hand drilling equipment/hand drilling technology
  
  
  • Dipstick mapping
  • Dynamic probing
  • Percussion core probing
  • Small drilling rig
• Documentation of samples, storage and preservation; handover for further (qualitative) analyses
• Spatial analysis
  
  
  • Creation of site plans to document the sampling points
  • Distance measurement, levelling, GPS

Target: Learning sampling skills including organoleptic approach and documentation

Geological mapping

• Working with the geological map
• Rock speech in the shot
• Working with the geological compass and visualisation of geological surfaces and linears

Soil gas sampling

• Practical exercises for handling soil gas sampling systems 
  
  
  • Creating temporary gas/ground air levels
  • Sampling using the GPMS 101 soil gas sampling system
• Documentation of samples, storage and transfer for further (qualitative) analyses

Target: Learning soil gas sampling skills

Groundwater sampling

• Practical exercises in handling sampling systems for groundwater and surface water
  
  
  • Surface water sampling from watercourses (streams, rivers)
  • Groundwater monitoring well sampling from groundwater monitoring wells/levels using MP 1
• Sampling of water for microbiological/bacterial analysis
  
  
  • from Brunnen
  • from raw water extraction points/drinking water pipes
• Measurement of on-site parameters and visual/organoleptic response
  
  Documentation of samples, storage and preservation; handover for further (qualitative) analyses

Target: Learning sampling skills, including measurement of on-site parameters and documentation

Determination of hydraulic parameters from pump tests

• Practical exercise for carrying out a short pump test
  
  
  • Carrying out a 2 h pumping test at a groundwater measuring point including recovery
  • Measuring and documenting the necessary parameters (manually, data logger)
• Analysing the data obtained and determining hydraulic parameters (drawdown, range, Kf value, hydraulic gradient)
• Presentation of the results - use of GEO software

Target: Learning practical skills in dealing with the available technology and realising/presenting the results
