Solinst 615 Drive Point Piezometers
- Ideal for Site Investigations
- High Quality Stainless Steel tip
- Completes a simple, very cost effective well
- Drives 20 to 25 ft in suitable soils
Overview
The Model 615 Drive Point Piezometer is an affordable device to monitor shallow groundwater and soil vapour in suitable conditions.
The Solinst Drive Point Piezometers are usually installed as permanent well points but they can also be used for short term applications.
The Drive Points attach to the standard, inexpensive 3/4" (20mm) NPT stainless steel drive pipe which is widely available in plumbing and hardware stores.
To achieve high quality samples, polyethylene or PTFE lined tubing is attached to the stainless steel drive-point. Using small diameter equipment, groundwater sampling and hydraulic head measurements can be taken.
The Drive Point Piezometers can be driven into the ground by a direct push or drilling technology, including the manual slide hammer. To avoid smearing the screen or clogging during installation, a shielded version is also available.
Manual Slide HammerThe Manual Slide Hammer can be used to install the Solinst Drive Point Piezometer inexpensively. Whilst the heavy duty drive point is being used, the slide hammer will impact and a tubing by-pass ensures that the tubing does not get damaged during installation.
