Vibrocoring is an effective method for obtaining samples from thick sediment deposits. Vibrocoring produces a relatively undisturbed core with sufficient volume to satisfy the needs of almost any combination of laboratory analyses. The Vibrocoring system is a model P-3 manufactured by Rossfelder Corporation is submersible, weighs 150 pounds, and is powered by a three-phase, 240-volt 60Hz generator. For the core tube, the Water Survey system utilizes a 10-foot section of schedule 5 black iron pipes with a diameter of 4 inches and lined with a HDPE liner. Cores can be split horizontally and processed for chemical and biological characteristics.
