Groundwater Sampling Training Course - Second Session Available

Waterra UK's has laid on a second day of CPD accredited groundwater sampling course on Thursday 9th September  because the original session Wednesday 8th September is now completely full!

Peter Dumble. MD of Waterra UK says “We are delighted at the  popularity of this course, which has largely filled by word of mouth recommendation from previous delegates. There is a lot of conflicting advice in circulation in relation to sampling methodology, mixing mechanisms in boreholes and equipment selection. This course aims to send delegates away with the understanding of how to take groundwater samples in the field more confidently .”

These courses are a great way to update your knowledge of groundwater sampling methods and to gain hands-on experience using working examples of the broadest range of sampling devices available on the market, including traditional and “low flow” sampling pumps, passive samplers and more!

To book your place or get more information visit the Waterra training page on our website or call us on 44 (0)121 733 7743.

The courses are accredited by the Geological Society for CPD with discounts available for Geological Society Members and for multiple bookings.

Telescopic samplers to help meet health and safety standards

Waterra UK has seen quite an increase in orders recently for our TeleScoop telescopic samplers.

The feedback from clients is very interesting. Apparently Health and Safety legislation is making them reticent about sending employees scrambling down riverbanks or wading through watercourses.  The TeleScoop, which has a reach of up to 4.5 metres is ideal for safe sampling from bridges or from the banks of streams, rivers,ponds or lakes.

The TeleScoop can be equipped with a number of different beakers, bottles and scoops to collect samples.  It can also be fitted with a peristaltic pump that allows multiple samples to be collected without continual retrieving of a sampling vessel.

Interestingly the TeleScoop is being used in waster water applications in sewage farms and tanks too because of its safety compliance and sampling capabilities.

Geotechnica 2010 - A good show for Waterra UK

Waterra UK had a great time at the Geotechnica 2010 trade show.

Our focus this year was on low flow and passive sampling techniques and equipment.  We were able to highlight the potential cost savings and ease of use of equipment like the Solinst discrete interval samplers that are ideal for sampling below an oil/product layer.

As usual the event was a great opportunity to meet up with some of our old friends in the industry and, importantly for us, generate some excellent business leads.

We look forward to Geotechnica 2011!
