The Nielsen Environmental Field School Training

On-Site Training

If you have 15 or more people requiring training and don't have the travel. budget to send everyone away to attend a training course, consider an on-site training program. This is a cost-effective option available from The Nielsen Environmental Field School - bring us to you and avoid the costs of sending staff off-site for training! This allows you to get the most out of your valuable training dollars -- you can spend your money on the training...
International Certification Program

The Nielsen Environmental Field School developed this certification program in direct response to demand from all sectors of the environmental field, including environmental consultants, contractors and laboratories; state, regional and local environmental regulatory and non-regulatory agencies; and industry (petrochemical, utility, mining, waste disposal, manufacturing and others). The goal of this program is to ensure that environmental samples...

Planning an Effective Environmental Sampling Program - the Sampling & Analysis Plan Training Courses

Most environmental projects involve the investigation and characterization of a variety of interconnected environmental media, including soil, ground water, surface water and sediment. There is a tendency to view each of these media in an isolated manner, which can lead to difficulties in interpreting sampling results later. Writing an effective site-specific Sampling & Analysis Plan to address these issues is much more involved than just sitting...
Developing an Effective Environmental Sampling Strategy Training Courses

Developing an effective environmental sampling strategy is a complex task that requires significant planning and forethought. Prior to selecting an appropriate strategy, it is essential to review as many background documents as possible about the site and its surroundings, to create an initial conceptual site model (CSM). With the preliminary CSM in place, you must then field-verify the details of your model by conducting a thorough site...
Field Equipment Decontamination Procedures for Multi-Media Environmental Sampling Training Courses

During environmental sampling events, a wide variety of field equipment is used to collect samples from a multitude of media and to perform field analysis on a variety of media. It is a common practice to use most equipment on a portable basis, at more than one sampling location. This is certainly convenient, but introduces the potential for cross-contamination of sampling locations and individual samples, both of which will affect the representative...

Optimizing Monitoring Well Placement Training Courses

One of the most challenging questions faced at the start of a ground-water monitoring program is “what are the most effective locations for this site’s ground-water monitoring wells and well screens?” This in-depth series of 5 separate modules addresses all of the myriad elements that must be evaluated to answer this seemingly simple question. Field videos are included within several of these modules to explain the field...
Environmental Drilling Technology for Site Characterization and Monitoring Well Installation Training Courses

There are more than a dozen different drilling methods that may be used to drill boreholes to collect soil samples for site characterization and install monitoring wells, but which method is most appropriate for your project? This series of 2 modules provides a detailed discussion on how to effectively evaluate and select the best drilling method for anticipated site conditions that will meet site-specific project objectives. Each of the...
Soil Sample Collection, Description & Handling in the Field Training Courses

During drilling of boreholes for site characterization and monitoring well installation, soil samples must be collected to document site geologic conditions. These soil samples are used to develop a detailed understanding of site hydrogeology, to determine the presence/absence of contamination, to determine the location, physical and chemical characteristics of target monitoring zones in which wells will be installed, and to design well screens...
Groundwater Monitoring Well Design, Construction & Development E-Course

E-Modules are listed under specific topics covered in the E-Course. You may take the entire package of 14 E-Modules listed below, OR you may take any of the individual E-Modules separately.
Groundwater Monitoring Well Design and Construction Training Courses

If you think there is a simple cookbook, one-size-fits-all approach to building monitoring wells that will consistently produce sediment-free, representative ground-water samples, you’re wrong! This series of 4 modules will demonstrate why by covering the complex topic of monitoring well design and construction from the bottom (the well screen) to the top (surface completion) and everything in between. Discover how to correctly...
Groundwater Monitoring Well Development Training Courses

The well is installed, the surface completion is finished but the well is still not ready to sample. Development is a critical step following construction of monitoring wells that is often short-changed or, sometimes, not implemented at all when new wells are installed at a site. This can result in a detrimental impact on the ability of the new well to yield representative ground-water samples – from the perspective of ensuring...

Field Equipment Decontamination Procedures Training Courses

It is a common practice to use a variety of field equipment that travels from well to well during a ground-water sampling event. Portable equipment such as water-level gauges, flow cells, analytical instruments and multi-parameter sondes are examples of some equipment that is used in each monitoring well, even in situations where dedicated pumps are used. And, of course, where portable pumps are used, the pump (and, in many cases, the discharge...
The Science Behind Groundwater Sampling Training Courses

Have you ever wondered if there is a better method than you are currently using for collecting more representative water-level data and ground-water samples from your wells? Ever thought about all of the various sources of bias and error in water-level measurement and sample collection procedures and wondered how each could affect the data in your sampling program? This series of 2 modules provides an in-depth discussion of how water-level...
Selection and Operation of Groundwater Purging & Sampling Devices Training Courses

There are a lot more useful and appropriate purging and sampling device options available than the bailer! Learn what types of sampling devices are appropriate for a variety of analytical parameters, and which devices should never be used for some parameters. This series of 2 modules provides a detailed discussion of a wide range of devices available for purging and sampling ground-water monitoring wells, including their principles of operation,...

Low-Flow Purging and Sampling Training Courses

Have you ever wondered if there is a better method than you are currently using for collecting more representative water-level data and ground-water samples from your wells? Ever thought about all of the various sources of bias and error in water-level measurement and sample collection procedures and wondered how each could affect the data in your sampling program? This series of 2 modules provides an in-depth discussion of how water-level measurement...
Field Parameter Measurement During Well Purging Training Courses

Measurement of field water-quality indicator parameters is a fundamental component of most conventional purging and all low-flow purging and sampling approaches to collecting ground-water samples from monitoring wells. This module explains how to correctly measure the most common water-quality indicator parameters (including pH, specific conductance, dissolved oxygen and redox potential) and physical parameters (temperature and turbidity) used...
