WinLoG Phase II Direct-Push Investigation Example

A complete direct-push environmental investigation record combining continuous core runs, recovery, discrete samples, PID/VOC screening, evidence of impacts, laboratory results, criteria exceedances, temporary-screen construction, groundwater, decontamination, and abandonment details.

DP-01 Phase II Direct-Push Investigation documents a 30 ft sounding at a former service station in Kitchener, Ontario. Six 5 ft direct-push runs progress through pavement, granular base, fill, impacted silty sand, native silty clay, and dense sandy silt till.

The validation report records 100% completeness, Good quality, and an 83% confidence score. Two warnings identify the 185 ppm PID/VOC result at 12.5 ft for review; no errors were reported.

What This Direct-Push Example Shows

Soil Profile

  • Depth and elevation scales
  • Six material intervals
  • Graphic lithology patterns
  • Pavement, fill, and native soil
  • Petroleum-impacted interval
  • End-of-sounding depth

Core Runs & Samples

  • Six continuous 5 ft core runs
  • Recovery from 70% to 95%
  • Six discrete soil samples
  • Sample IDs and types
  • Depth-linked field results
  • Laboratory traceability

Impact Assessment

  • PID/VOC readings to 185 ppm
  • Petroleum odour and staining
  • BTEX and PHC results
  • Benzene exceedance
  • PHC F2 exceedances
  • Automated validation warnings

Completion Records

  • 10-15 ft temporary screen
  • Groundwater at 12.8 ft
  • Temporary groundwater sample
  • Refusal and termination notes
  • Tooling decontamination
  • Waste and abandonment details

Connecting Field Evidence to Laboratory Confirmation

The first sheet identifies the strongest evidence of petroleum impacts between 8 and 12 ft, where odour, black staining, the peak PID/VOC response, benzene, and PHC F2 results converge. The criteria column immediately distinguishes compliant samples from laboratory exceedances.

The second sheet completes the profile through dense sandy silt till to 30 ft. The log also records a temporary screen from 10 to 15 ft, stabilized groundwater at 12.8 ft, investigation-derived waste handling, decontamination, removal of the screen, and sealing with bentonite grout.
