GeoSonics/Vibra-Tech offices operate in-house water quality laboratories to conduct chemical water analyses, usually in conjunction with inspection services. A typical water analysis consists of seven or eight standard parameters, but any analysis can be customized to a specific client need or request.
Sampling is performed to establish a baseline on private wells or springwater supplies encountered during pre-project inspections, enabling third-party documentation of water supplies. By conducting analyses in house, we ensure more efficient collection, official chain of custody is reduced, analyses are available sooner, and completed inspection reports can be submitted in a more timely fashion.
We also perform water analyses in conjunction with post-project inspections or as part of our damage claim investigations. In these instances, it is especially helpful that the original analysis was performed by our lab and often the same inspector. Upon request, GeoSonics/Vibra-Tech can also assist in providing bacteriological analysis.
Complementing our analysis capabilities, we also possess the ability to conduct more comprehensive field studies on individual well and springwater supplies. Static water level measurements, drawdown testing, and spring flow rates can be measured. We also offer long-term monitoring with continuous data collection and remote communication for specific parameters using our Re:mote Monitoring system.
