MIP Qualifications:

Vironex has provided direct push services across the U.S. since 1993 and operated our MIP Division since 2000. With the extensive resources and wide array of DPT platforms, Vironex has the capability of deploying the MIP with the deep application Geoprobe 6600, 6620DT, & 540M (Limited Access) rigs. Vironex’s MIP Division provides ECD, PID, and FID data with Soil Conductivity to identify petroleum and chlorinated hydrocarbon source zone contaminant distribution in both the saturated and unsaturated zone, and the extent of downgradient contamination.

Vironex’s unique MIP configuration and services enables the consultant to obtain relative contaminant concentrations, as well as being able to speciate contaminants through a continuous trapping system, portable GC-MS and traditional confirmation soil, groundwater , and soil gas sampling.

Vironex assists environmental consultants nationwide in obtaining high definition site characterization data through our MIP System to allow them to obtain a better understanding of contaminant distribution in relation to lithology. This is critical information required to implement successful in-situ remedial programs.

Vironex also has the capability to cost effectively provide 3D imaging of contaminant mass distribution in relation to lithology as well as site landmarks. This capability allows consultants and their clients to gain a better visual perspective of the contaminant distribution.

Field data, images and reports can be transmitted real time from the field directly to the consultant’s desktop, as well as uploaded daily to a secure website where they can be accessed by project stakeholders through the internet.

Method of MIP Deployment:

Static and percussion with Geoprobe 6600, 6620DT, & 540M (limited access) rigs. Vironex provides a turnkey MIP service deployment through our own equipment and employees. We do not subcontract any services.

Special Capabilities:

Continuous trapping and speciation system, portable GC-MS speciation, traditional confirmation soil, groundwater, and soil gas sampling, 3-D imaging, detailed reporting, integration of MIP data into in-situ remediation injection strategies.

Custom designed MIP Sprinter vans (2005) with pre-strung dual rod strings to minimize down time from broken probes or saturated trunk lines, the ability to implement the MIP through dual wall casing to prevent cross contamination, integrated low-noise generator, refrigerators for storage of confirmation samples, internet access, air conditioned, high end laptop / printer capable of generating 3-D imaging in the field.

Service Area:

Continental U.S.
