How are the GORE™ Modules inserted into the subsurface installation holes?

0

A stainless steel insertion rod is supplied with each GORE™ Survey order. One end of the rod fits into a small pocket cut in the GORE™ Module. The opposite end of the module is tied to a strong cord, which is then tied to a cork (cord and cork supplied by Gore). The assembly is slid into the hole to depth, and the rod extracted. The module will slide off the end of the insertion rod with a quick twist, or by pressing the assembly against the side of the hole when extracting the rod. The hole is sealed with the cork. The module serial number and sample location are noted on the field map, and the Installation and Retrieval Log is updated as the installation progresses to the next sample location. For best results, the insertion rod (and the installation hole drilling equipment) should be cleaned to remove soil, between sample locations.
