ArcGIS sounds like my best bet. Thanks all.

CVG, thanks for the info! I will investigate this - sounda promising.

A direct shear test on a reworked sample is NOT representative of the in situ soil. Period. Any sample from a Mod-CA sampler is disturbed and not accurately representative of in situ soil - but frequently is good enough for a direct shear test depending upon how it will be used and application...

Thanks for the suggestions. I was hoping to find a single-purpose software but it sounds like AutoCAD is the way to go.

I am an environmental geologist at a State regulatory agency. We are working on an enormous remediation project that will include dozens of separate excavations ranging from a few thousand to a few hundred thousand cubic yards of soil. Some excavations will be backfilled, some partially...

I am doing environmental review of an industrial facility constructed in the late 1950s with multiple modifications. Documentation of construction/uses/changes is incomplete. Photos in the attached PDF show a small fenced area with what appear to be inter-connected grounding rods in the four...

Excellent! Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the quick reply Scotty. I do not have label/plate info and I won't be back to the site for ~2-4 weeks. Hopefully, attached are photos of a small transformer and a larger (likely newer) one. URLs follow in text in case attachment doesn't work. Tom...

I am working on an industrial site constructed in the 1950s & 1960s. Many of the buildings have interior transformers that are typically rectangular metal boxes, mostly raised a few inches above the floor, with dimensions ranging up to about 4'H x 4'w x 2'd but most are smaller. A few have...

Thanks all. Fuel UST seems like best bet.

Photos sent to me by co-worker. Encountered this "hatch" when vegetation was cleared at a former rocket mortor test facililty. From size of safety barrier mesh, looks like the hatch would be tight but accessible for a person. Anyone have any ideas what it might be? It would be good to have...

Compositepro, Thanks for the tip but yes, I have seen this site and photo. It is blown up from one of the high altitude photos I mentioned. For me, it tells me less about the site than the low altitude photo of the foundations. Toxick

davefitz, I agree that it seems hard to believe that there isn't more infomation about this plant. However, I think the cost researching and cataloging historic documents for this large and complex site (the LOX plant is just a tiny part) is now in the millions of dollars. There are a few...

Montemayor, Thanks so much for your info. You have exactly the background I was hoping to tap into, and you have confirmed a big part of what I was trying to verify - i.e. it is unlikely there were large volumes of other chemicals used in the process (except possibly Freons). We have three...

7896392, I will try the link. Thanks. davefitz, The rocket fules have been a big issue out here, particularly perchlorate because of its solubility and the large volumes used. It was relatively easy at first because it was assumed all of the perchlorate was man made, with the exception of...
