While geophysical logs suggest where flow might be, and packer tests provide coarse interval data, Transmissivity Profiling provides direct, continuous measurement of flow paths at a 6″ to 12″ scale. Best of all, the profiling happens during the installation of a Blank Liner, meaning your borehole is never left open to cross-flow while you collect data.

Strategic Benefits for Hydrogeologists

• Unmatched Vertical Resolution: Identify thin, high-flow fractures that traditional 5-foot packer intervals often miss or “average out.”
• Zero Cross-Contamination: The profiling process uses an everting liner that seals the hole from the top down, stopping vertical contaminant migration immediately.
• Reduce Geophysical Costs: Direct hydraulic measurements often eliminate the need for expensive, indirect geophysical suites used to infer flow.
• Data-Driven Multi-Level Design: Use your transmissivity map to perfectly locate sampling ports for a permanent Water Flute system or nested wells.
• Rapid Site Characterization: Complete a high-resolution profile for a 1000 ft (300 m) borehole typically in less than a standard work day.

Features of the Model 405 Profiling Service

• Continuous Transmissivity Map: Generates a detailed log of transmissivity versus depth, identifying every significant water-producing feature.

• Removable & Remediable: Profiling is performed using a removable Blank Liner, leaving the borehole pristine for future use or permanent installation.

• Versatile Borehole Support: Successfully deployed in hundreds of boreholes ranging from 3″ to 12″ in diameter.

• Integration with FACT: Combine profiling with the Flute Activated Carbon Technique (FACT) to map contaminant distribution alongside flow paths.

• Real-Time Monitoring: Data is tracked in real-time by expert technicians to ensure equilibration and data integrity throughout the eversion process.
