Recent projects include:

North Carolina – Shallow subsurface and bedrock characterization at coal-fired power plants in the Piedmont of North Carolina to delineate the extent of coal ash and related contaminants. This included characterization of saprolite and bedrock through the logging of wells of varying depths, collection of analytical samples, and performance of various aquifer tests including discrete interval packer testing. Wells were logged according to ASTM standards. Field classification, Rock Quality Designation and recovery rates were recorded for all core runs. Deep bedrock wells were screened based on packer testing results. Work also included drilling supervision and technical oversight.

 

North Carolina – Site Supervisor of well development, drilling, and sampling crews at multiple electrical power plant facilities in North Carolina. The work at each of these facilities was associated with groundwater studies related to coal ash contamination. Work included oversight of personnel, coordination with client’s onsite representatives, quality control, enforcement of safety standards, and daily report submittals.

 

North Carolina – Drilling oversight and serving as driller of record on a thermal treatment remediation project at the ABC Cleaners Superfund Site in Jacksonville, NC. This high-profile project involved the advancement of boreholes utilizing rotasonic drilling to facilitate installation of steel piping for subsurface heating and stainless steel soil vapor extraction wells in a nested arrangement. The nested wells included both vertical and varying angled advancements.

 

North Carolina – Performance of 43 Phase I Environmental Site Assessments required in conjunction with property transfers. All work was done under rigid deadline requirements and according to ASTM Practice E 1527-05 – All Appropriate Inquiry specifications.

 

North Carolina – Collection of groundwater samples from wells screened at varying intervals within the Upper and Lower Black Creek Aquifers for a wide range of analytes at the Aberdeen, North Carolina Contaminated Ground Water Superfund Site.
