MIP Qualifications:
Geoprobe Systems® has been performing MIP work since 1995. We only perform projects in connection with the testing of new MIP probe and analytical systems. The company employs a variety of detector systems including ECD, PID, and FID. We also pioneered the use of trapping and GC speciation in parallel with conventional pass-through detectors. Our current MIP system is configured to use ECD, PID, and FID as pass through detectors, and then use trapping and GC-MS analysis for speciation of contaminants. We can deploy MIP systems using percussion probes or in the CPT-MIP static push mode. All of our fieldwork is performed in conjunction with local Geoprobe® machine operators, usually in support of existing MIP Service Specialists. We have found the MIP to be a powerful tool for characterizing the subsurface; it’s fun to deliver information to a site consultant that allows him or her to finally understand the distribution of contaminants.

Method of MIP Deployment:
Static & Dynamic

Special Capabilities:
MIP/CPT & MIP Followed by trapping and GC/MS analysis.

Service Area:
Mainly in the Midwest. We have also performed work on the East Coast, in Florida, and in the Gulf Coast region.

Number of MIP Systems Operating:
1
