Solutions for Environmental
Hydrogeology, Groundwater, Infrastructure & Risk Detection
Mount Sopris slimline probes and easy-to-use portable geophysical logging systems are ideally suited for shallow, near surface environmental applications, and were very popular in the 1990’s when the US EPA implemented facets of the Clean Water Act and CERCLA. Today our environmental geophysical logging systems are used for a variety of new environmental challenges.
Groundwater contamination and related environmental issues have captured our nation and the world by surprise. Mount Sopris has focused on manufacturing downhole probes to address this concern. Our customers have presented numerous papers over the years at various conferences and symposia featuring the use of borehole geophysical logging instrumentation for environmental applications.
