Tri-Service Site Characterization and Analysis Penetrometer System- SCAPS: Innovative Environmental Technology from Concept to Commercialization

摘要

This report summarizes the conceptualization, development and field demonstrations of the Site Characterization and Analysis Penetrometer System (SCAPS) technology from 1987 to 1999. The SCAPS provides reliable in-situ soil and groundwater testing for environmental site characterization. Probes to detect and quantify petroleum products, volatile organics, metals, explosives and radionuclides are being used by the Army and Navy, and are also available for commercial licensing.
