Groundwater sampling methods continue to expand and develop on a regular basis, and the Screen Point 15 and 16 systems are currently leading the charge.  As the state's top geotechnical drilling contractor using the most state-of-the-art equipment, Geotek Alaska in Anchorage is well-versed in what it takes to achieve quality groundwater sampling for analysis purposes.  

The Screen Point 15 and 16 are the most widely used direct-push systems available, and the newer model 16 system has its own distinct advantages. Here are a few of the features and benefits you'll find with SP16: 

• Durable & Affordable: SP16 is the most durable system out there, with an incredibly strong drive head and a sample sheath that is resistant to corrosion. It's also a very low-cost method of groundwater sampling, with no need for conventional well monitoring and the ability to profile a deep water table without multiple well installations. 
• Completely Sealed With Fast Recharge: One of the reasons SP16 is so durable is because it's composed of so few parts. In addition to the stainless steel sheath, the system features an extendable point and O-rings, and it remains completely sealed during percussion probing. The 41-inch exposed screen length also allows for fast recharge from formation. 
• Versatile Sampling Capabilities: Thanks to the large screen and varied deployment capabilities, users can sample both dissolved compounds and non-aqueous phase liquids, as well as floating layers and sinking layers. 

If you're looking to obtain groundwater samples in the most efficient way possible, Geotek Alaska and the Screen Point systems will provide an efficient solution so you can move on with your analysis.
