Cost-Effective Site Characterization:
How much is your monitoring well actually costing you?
August 19, 2025 10am-11am (Mountain Time)
Join Aestus’ Hydrogeophysicist, Samantha Frandsen, for a focused technical webinar.
This webinar is designed for project managers, environmental professionals, regulators, and consultants who want to be more efficient in their use of time and budget on subsurface characterization projects. We’ll take a candid look at the true cost of monitoring wells, both financially and technically, and explore the benefits of adopting a “scan-first” approach. You’ll also learn how electrical resistivity imagery, specifically GeoTrax Survey™ data, enhances subsurface characterization and conceptual site model development. Through real-world case studies, we’ll show how project teams have saved millions of dollars by integrating the “scan-first” approach, leading to more informed decisions and more efficient site work.
What You’ll Learn:
-
Ultra-High Resolution Conceptual Site Models: Learn how a data dense conceptual site model (CSM) can improve remedial outcomes, resulting in less time and budget spent to reach site closure:
-
- Key principles in CSM development that can be applied on all sites
- Why monitoring wells are not the ideal tool for site characterization
-
-
Benefits of Scanning First: The technical and financial advantages to adopting a “scan-first” approach to site characterization (i.e., avoid the pitfalls of “poke and hope”)
-
Electrical Hydrogeology Applications: The technical basics behind the GeoTrax Survey™ electrical resistivity data scans (field logistics, what you can learn from the data)
Review Real-World Case Studies:
-
Brownfields Site: Former dry cleaner site in Seattle, Washington that resulted in an estimated $3.7 Million saved on remediation.
-
Refinery Site: LNAPL plume more than a mile long at 350 feet BGS that resulted in an estimated $20 Million saved on characterization (i.e., mapping the plume).
Benefits of Attending:
-
Application Strategy: Learn which engagement options are available so you can implement the scan-first benefits on your site.
-
Gain Actionable Knowledge: Provide your team and project with a technical edge via use of modern methods and have opportunity for technical Q&A in live session
