The use of the piezocone to provide detailed stratigraphic information as well as the piezometric and hydraulic characteristics of the soil is discussed. A resistivity module of external electrode rings attached to the piezocone developed at UBC to log and assess groundwater quality, soil porosity and saturation is also discussed together with basic theory and factors that affect in-situ electrical resistivity. Finally, the combination of the economical and rapid UBC-modified BAT groundwater penetration tool to provide 'specific-depth' groundwater samples for chemical and biological analysis and correlation with resistivity will also be explained. Field data from several case histories are presented to demonstrate the use of the resistivity piezocone in combination with groundwater sampling to provide screening data to locate permanent monitoring well systems or to develop remediation scenarios. The examples deal with acid mine drainage at a mine site, creosote contamination at a pressure treatment plant, seawater intrusion alongside a river outlet and seepage through a tailings dam. |
