Remediation Sites in Central California's Mojave Desert
One of the largest environmental and infrastructure consulting companies in the world has been using the QNOPY Platform for managing groundwater sampling activities at high-profile remediation sites in California’s Mojave Desert. The monitoring program is complex, and the number of wells sampled in any given quarter exceeds 1,000. However, using the QNOPY Platform, the consultant has collected and recorded data for over 10 thousand samples over the last three years. Furthermore, they have achieved a 30% reduction in costs as well as better quality data with zero re-work and no data lost.
Challenges
Complex sampling plans because of regulatory requirements
Mislabeled well IDs, resulting in sampling the wrong wells
Duplicate sampling due to regular technician turnover
Difficulties planning the sampling events and assigning samplers
Need for manual QA of the daily sampling work
Constant pressure to reduce costs and add efficiencies
Overlapping sampling programs with different analysis requirements
QNOPY's Groundwater Sampling Solution
For this purpose, QNOPY customized the groundwater sampling forms to include all the unique requirements. Furthermore, QNOPY set up the projects in the system, added all the wells to the database (including construction details, such as depth to bottom, diameter, and the screen intervals), and uploaded the geographic locations of the wells.

Highlights
01
Complete, field-ready setup. QNOPY supplies cellular tablets along with the software, and the app works offline, so technicians can record data anywhere and sync it later. Each technician has their own login and can see which wells are done.
02
Easy, accurate well identification. Wells are shown on a map so they're easy to find, and the app pre-fills each well's diameter and depth so technicians can confirm they're at the right one.
03
Automatic documentation. Photos and the well integrity checklist are automatically linked to the correct well and form.
04
Built-in data quality checks. The app shows the last two readings for comparison, flags values outside valid ranges, and calculates when purge parameters have stabilized.
05
Automatic documentation. Photos and the well integrity checklist are automatically linked to the correct well and form.
06
Real-time office access and reporting. The project manager sees data live on the web portal, can edit logs and manage wells, view trends in time series plots, and export data as PDF, Word, Excel, or EDDs for the client's database.
