How to use Lithology Descriptors to Standardize Logs
When entering the borehole lithology in WinLoG, lithology descriptors can be used to select lithology descriptions from predefined lists. There are descriptors for lithology, color, odour, porosity, and consistency. By using descriptors, lithology descriptions can be standardized for logs. Setting up the Template To see these descriptors on the log the show descriptors option on…

How to use Sample Descriptors to Standardize Logs
Are you tired of typing the same “Fine-to-medium grained sand” description into every single borehole log? Or worse, are you spending hours fixing inconsistent terminology across your team’s reports? Standardization is the backbone of professional geotechnical and environmental consulting. By mastering Sample Descriptors in WinLoG, you can replace manual data entry with a streamlined, “click-and-pick” system. Not…

How to Quickly Enter Standardized Lithologic Layers in WinLoG
Lithology macros are used to insert previously defined text, titles and symbols into lithologic layers on logs. By using lithology macros, logs can be created faster and more consistently. The lithology macros can adhere to standardized soil classifications; such as USCS. In addition, the use of a unified naming system of layers makes the automatic…

Standard Operating Procedures for Purging and Sampling Groundwater Monitoring Wells
Purging a Well Purging a monitoring well is a critical field procedure performed before collecting groundwater samples for environmental analysis. The goal is to remove stagnant water that has been sitting in the well casing (which is not representative of the actual aquifer water) and draw in fresh formation water from the surrounding geological zone.…
