- Helps you to operate more sustainably
-
Trim your casing below ground level safely and easily These new internal pipe cutters have an ingenious design to ensure a safe, easy, and clean cut without any PVC shavings falling into your monitoring well. The IPC50 and IPC100 are an ingenious design of internal pipe cutter. It uses a replaceable cutting wheel blade to give a clean cut without any shavings. As you tighten the handle and rotate, the cutting wheel pushes against the inside of the casing and cutting cleanly through. The replaceable cutting wheel pushes against the casing from the inside out, and is tightened with each rotation to give a clean and precise cut. Available in sizes to suit 50mm and 100mm casing. -
Is sampling groundwater responsibly important to your business? ...then switch to 'BioTubing'. Our landfill-biodegradable tubing helps minimise plastic waste build-up in our landfills. BioTubing is made from landfill-biodegradable* LDPE (low density polyethylene) or HDPE (high density polyethylene), and will only start to biodegrade once in a microbe rich environment such as a landfill. It does not require high oxygen or temperature to biodegrade such as in a commercial compost. BioTubing enables you to achieve high sampling integrity plus operate more sustainably. Bonded Tubing for Low-Flow Sampling Our bonded tubing has the 1/4″ and 3/8″ tubes bonded together with a thin bridge and conveniently packaged on a 100m spool. The air and water lines have been bonded during the extrusion (manufacturing) process, and can be separated easily in the field to connect to a pump and controller fittings. It is recommended to scrape the bonding bridge clean with a knife to ensure a perfect seal. Many people prefer using bonded tubing as it can simplify pump deplyment and handling, and it can reduce the possibility of getting pumps stuck. The easiest way to manage your bonded tubing during pump depolyment, sampling, and storage, is by using the Rapid Reel tubing dispenser. Ultra-Clean BioTubing Our BioTubing has been independently tested for any leaching of 58 VOCs and 101 SVOCs. The VOCs were tested using USEPA 8260B process and the semi VOCs via USEPA 8270. After tumbling for 18 hours the tubing showed 'non detect' on all the compounds analysed for. These compounds included Phthalates and PAHs. Data available on request. Waste Plastic Facts- In Australia alone over 1.5 million tons of plastic waste is disposed of each year, approximately 30 million tons in the USA, and about 5 million tons in the UK
- Unfortunately most of this goes to landfill with only a small percentage being recycled
- The use of plastic in western Europe and Australia is growing by about 4% each year
- Plastic can take up to 500 years to decompose
- Nearly every piece of plastic ever made still exists today
- By using BioTubing and other landfill-biodegradable products you are helping to reduce the amount of plastic waste build-up in our landfills

Testimonials:
"I used the rapid reel last time I was groundwater sampling and thought it was great. Made life so much easier, especially on the deep wells." (Samantha Walsh - Landserv)
“I have to say, when I saw the rapid reel on your website, memories sprung to mind of countless times spent fighting soggy cardboard reels and unruly tubing. The Rapid Reel did live up to my expectations. It definitely helped keep my ute/workspace tidier, and it was quicker and easier to reel out the quantity I needed." (Anonymous - Ventia) -
Low-Flow Sampling has been the preferred method of choice for many years now in Australia for groundwater sampling. Now you can use disposable bladders responsibly by choosing our landfill biodegradable bladders. Fieldtech Solutions has developed landfill-biodegradable concertina style bladders, and also tube style bladders for 2 of the most popular low-flow groundwater sampling pumps. These bladders have the same biodegradable additive as our other disposable sampling products so that they will biodegrade once disposed to a landfill. *Concertina style bladders now also available in HDPE* -
The BioBailerTM is a quick and easy way to sample groundwater. Simply lower the bailer into your well and it fills with water as it submerses. When you pull up to retrieve the bailer the check-valve closes, trapping approximately 1L of water inside. BioBailersTM are made from landfill-biodegradable* PVC, and will only start to biodegrade once in a microbe rich environment such as a landfill. They do not require high oxygen or temperature to biodegrade such as in a commercial compost. Achieve the same groundwater sampling integrity as non-biodegradable bailers but more responsibly.Need to sample LNAPL / PSH? The easiest and most cost effective way is with the Hydrocarbon only or HC BioBailers. HC BioBailersTM allow you to collect floating LNAPL / PSH from a well, without collecting water. The ball valve is denser than LNAPL but lighter than water so it pushes water out of the bailer while keeping the LNAPL. These bailers also have a wider mouth than regular bailers, allowing you to collect more LNAPL with each bail. Like all BiobailersTM they are landfill-biodegradable. -
The AquaPore inline filter is the world's first biodegradable filter capsule. Having the same special patented additive as all our other landfill biodegradable products, the AquaPore filter is a disposable plastic filter which will biodegrade when discarded to a landfill. It is especially convenient when used with low-flow groundwater sampling but can also easily be used with a bailer, or with a filter flask for surface water filtering. All AquaPore filters now come with a threaded barb adapter to allow easy connection to your low-flow discharge line (3/8" OD). The AquaPore 800 biodegradable filter has a huge 800cm2 capacity to handle water with high turbidity, while the AquaPore 500 has a 500cm2 capacity for medium turbidity. Both filters have the same proprietary additive we use in our other biodegradable products to make them landfill biodegradable. It has been designed specifically for the preparation of groundwater samples for dissolved metals analysis and for filtering large volumes of turbid groundwater. The AquaPore filter has been lab tested and rinsate verified for 66 trace elements complying with ANZECC recommendations. -
Turn your BioTubing into a groundwater pump Waterra footvalves or inertial pumps have long been a reliable and effective way to sample groundwater. They consist of a one-way checkvalve which connects to a length of HDPE BioTubing. Oscillating the tubing up and down in the well produces a flow of water. The tubing can also be connected to external pumps such as the Waterra Powerpack or PowerPump. Waterra footvalves can be a great sampling solution for narrow diameter wells. Fieldtech Solutions stock a range of the most popular sizes such as the D25, D32, and D16 footvalves. Each of these can connect to our BioTubing which allows it to function as a manual groundwater pump.

Low Cost, No Purge Groundwater Sampler These types of samplers are fast becoming a popular method for groundwater sampling on many Australian sites. Sleeve samplers make groundwater sampling a simple, three-step operation that can be more effective than purging or low-flow sampling. The low-cost, disposable sleeve captures a core of water from any discrete interval in the screened portion of the well with no change in water level and minimal disturbance to the water column. The sleeve is sealed except during sample collection, then re-seals itself, assuring that a formation quality sample is recovered. The tripod stand option provides a convenient place to hang a full sampler while filling sample bottles. Independent laboratory testing confirms that sleeve samplers are PFC/PFAS-free, based on analysis for 28 different PFCs at extremely low detection limits. -

Landfill-Biodegradable Push-Tube Liners for Soil Sampling
The BioLinerTM has been available in Australia since 2012, and as the name suggests it is a plastic liner for soil sampling that will biodegrade* 90+% faster than conventional push-tube liners when discarded to a landfill. A special additive in the plastic encourages microbes to consume it. BioLinersTM are made from biodegradable* PVC, and will only start to biodegrade once in a microbe rich environment such as a landfill. They enable you to achieve the same sampling integrity as non-biodegradable liners but more sustainably. Soil push-tube liners, once used are normally discarded having served their purpose. However this adds to our plastic disposal problem. In Australia alone over 1.5 million tons of plastic waste is disposed of each year, approximately 30 million tons in the USA, and about 5 million tons in the UK. Unfortunately most of this goes to landfill with only a small percentage being recycled. This is unsustainable, and the problem will only get worse unless we change our consumer habits. Only the BioLinerTM can help you achieve more sustainable soil sampling. *Biodegradation has been verified by independent laboratory using ASTM D5511 for anaerobic landfill conditions.

AMS soil augers are commonly used throughout the world for obtaining disturbed soil samples at or near the surface and for boring to depths where samples may be obtained with a soil sampler or soil core sampler.
Available in alloy steel or stainless steel, with either threaded or quick-connect options. Perfect for augering shallow depths, AMS soil augers can also auger deeper depths and are generally limited by only the time and muscle of the user. Listed below are the most common AMS augers that we stock. -
Soil Vapour Implants can be used for permanent or temporary installations. They can be used for soil gas sampling, air sparging, and even groundwater sampling. They are an accurate and economical way to sample soil vapour. These popular mesh implants come with a barb on top to connect to 1/4” Teflon® tubing. A threaded bottom connection allows connection to a weight to pull the implant down during installation. The implant mesh allows easy passage of the soil vapours to pass in from the target zone into the tubing. The barb allows leak free and tool-less connection of the Teflon® or other similar tubing up to the surface. A range of surface connection fittings are available to provide flexibility to various connection methods at the surface. Installation involves drilling or augering a hole down to the target zone, placing in an implant with connected tubing. Then backfilling around the implant with sand and gravel pack across the target zone. Finally filling back in with soil and or bentonite to make a seal from the surface. The top end of the tubing is where the soil vapour sample is drawn from. When not in use keep this capped.Do I need a weight? Due to the coiled Teflon® tubing acting like a spring, it can bind on the sides of the bore. For shallow installations of a few metres, a weight may not be necessary. For deeper installations a weight is recommended to pull the implant down to the bottom.

The Swing Sampler enables you to reach out up to 2.4m from a river bank or shore to take a 1.2L surface water sample. It can also be used for reaching into tanks, drums, or any difficult locations with up to 90 degrees rotation on the free-swinging head. The sample jar has a volume of 1.2L and can be re-used (recommended to use Decon 90 to clean between samples). The re-useable sample jar is made from landfill-biodegradable plastic, so when it eventually gets disposed to a landfill it will biodegrade. -
The Heron dipper-T water level meter is designed for well drillers, consultants, and hydrogeologists all across the globe. The dipper-T is a rugged and dependable water level meter made from high quality materials, easy to use for a wide variety of applications. The dipper-T is capable of measuring both static and falling head levels. Static mode is used for measuring the depth of water in wells, boreholes and standpipes. DrawDown mode is used for measuring falling water levels during purging, well development and for low flow sampling; helping to protect your pump from damage caused by dry running. The Heron dipper-T is renowned for its premium, polyethylene coated yellow steel tape accuracy in measuring depth to water. Available in your choice of either metric or engineering scale. The highest accuracy begins with a top quality, heavy duty tape. Each tape is tested to ensure compliance with appropriate ASME standards. These tough tapes have a breaking load of over 150 kg. The tape is made from high tensile steel, ensuring resistance to stretching even at abnormal loads. Everything on the unit from the ergonomic vinyl carry handle to the easy clean, full depth stainless steel probe has been carefully designed to give you the very best water level meter. Each unit includes a sturdy padded nylon carrying bag. Drawdown Feature For Low-Flow Sampling With a touch of a button the unit changes from static to drawdown mode; a dual function unit at an affordable price. The dipper-T in drawdown mode is ideally suited for low-flow groundwater sampling. During sampling the drawdown level needs to be monitored closely so that it does not fall below the pump inlet. If the drawdown alarm sounds then the user can quickly slow the pumping rate or stop the pump temporarily and allow the well to recover. The drawdown feature may be used for measuring falling water levels during purging and well development, helping to protect electrical pumps from damage caused by dry running. The Well Casing Indicator Probe is used to measure the depth of metal casing in wells and boreholes from 50mm in diameter and upward. The Well Casing Indicator Probe works using magnetism. While the probe sits within the magnetic field of the steel casing, an auditory and visual signal is active. When the probe leaves the magnetic field the signal stops. Note the condition of the well for accurate readings. The Well Depth Indicator Probe (or bottom detector) is used to measure the full depth in wells and boreholes. The Well Depth Indicator Probe uses a pressure sensitive plunger to measure the distance to the bottom of the well. When the Well Depth Indicator Probe reaches the bottom of the well, the plunger enters the probe body closing a switch, initiating an audible and visual signal at the top of the well. -
The fox whistle is the ultimate low cost tool you can use for measuring depth to water. Our fox whistle is made from stainless steel, is 20mm in diameter and 200mm long. Air is pushed through the hole in the fox whistle and when it comes into contact with water, it makes a whistling sound. A 30m tape on a windup reel is also available to order as well. Please Note - Maximum depth recommended is approximately 20m, otherwise you may not hear the whistle. Also, not recommended for use in noisy environments such as a busy road or noisy site, as again you may not hear the whistle. -
Passive skimmers for fuel removal The KV Passive Skimmers utilize a patented membrane material to separate fuel from water. Subsurface fuel spills are recovered by membrane separation so the fuel simply falls into the passive "bailer" reservoir. These fuel bailers easily recover LNAPL such as petrol and diesel from groundwater.
