Site Investigations

Sailer Environmental, Inc. has an experienced staff of professional geologists, hydrogeologists and environmental scientists who will assess soil and ground water quality, evaluate the distribution and movement of contaminants and provide rational interpretations of, and comparisons to, regulatory standards. SEI has performed subsurface investigations at a variety of sites ranging in size and complexity from small commercial or industrial properties to large chemical manufacturing and repackaging facilities. These investigations have been used as part of site development actions, tank closures, investigation and closure of RCRA storage facilities, responses to regulatory orders and as precursors to site remediation.

Typically SEI is called upon to prepare work plans, sampling plans, quality assurance project plans and safety plans for site investigations, remedial investigations and feasibility studies. An integral part of our service is an assessment and formulation of soil and ground water clean-up objectives and identification of alternatives to comply with federal and state regulations. We have conducted site investigations in diverse geologic settings, including glaciolacustrine deposits, valley train and stratified drift deposits, till, and bedrock. We have extensive experience with the assessment of soil and ground water impacted by hydrocarbons, industrial solvents, metals, pesticides, PCBs and sodium chloride.

SEI relies on a variety of qualified and licensed independent contractors and testing laboratories for field support and analytical services. We maintain strict adherence to OSHA standards on every job site and employ project specified quality assurance /quality control (QA/QC) and sampling procedures during all phases of sample collection.

Sailer Environmental’s range of site investigation services includes:

• Test boring programs via hollow-stem augers, direct push or air rotary techniques
• Monitoring well network design and installation
• Ground water, surface water and soil sediment sampling
• Soil gas surveys
• Geophysical surveys including ground penetrating radar, terrain conductivity, seismic refraction, magnetometer surveys, and earth resistivity
• Aquifer analysis using pump and slug testing protocols
• Plume delineation using on-site laboratories
• Down hole video logging
