A facility in Pontypool, Wales, UK was once the location of a plastic forming plant. Over time, chemicals produced through the plastic forming processes were lost into the groundwater beneath the facility, creating a large contaminant plume.<\/p>\n
Years later it was determined that the plume is migrating off site. In order to intercept the plume and establish a remedial plan, the plume needs to be characterized. Solinst CMT Multilevel Monitoring Systems<\/a> were selected as a solution to provide high-resolution data and a better picture of the subsurface.<\/p>\n A CMT Multilevel System consists of continuously extruded polyethylene tubing with seven or three separate channels running the length of the tubing. Groundwater monitoring zones are mechanically created and sealed off, one in each separate channel at different vertical intervals.<\/p>\n Note!<\/strong> To learn how monitoring ports are designed and created in a CMT Multilevel System, watch this video<\/a> produced by Solinst.<\/p>\n
