Itasca has broad knowledge and experience in conducting field and laboratory investigations to obtain hydrogeologic and geochemical data, ranging from routine site monitoring to conducting aquifer tests.

Field services include:

• Conducting field sampling of water, rock, and soil for chemistry analysis
• Installing pumping (injection and extraction) wells, monitoring wells, and standpipe or grouted-in vibrating-wire transducer piezometers
• Conducting field tests (pumping, injection, drill stem air-lift tests, packer tests, etc.) for the estimation of aquifer hydraulic parameters
• Conducting vadose-zone studies for infiltration, gaseous transport, and chemical transport;
• Installing surface-water and vadose-zone monitoring systems (gages, flumes, dedicated pumps, lysimeters, etc.)
• Characterizing mine wastes to evaluate the potential development of acid rock drainage and the leaching potentials of metals using laboratory and field-scale testing
