Cars for environmental soil research


For the execution of various types of research in the field more and more often fully equipped cars are used. These cars are fitted with field as well as laboratory equipment. Following the specifications of the client various types of cars can be fitted with a wide variety of equipment.

There is a selection of four different modules that serve as basic outfit:
- Soil sampling
- Sediment sampling
- Groundwater sampling and analysis
- Sampling of residual substances and chemicals

The different modules serve as a guideline for complete fitting of a car in accordance with your specific application. Installation and equipment of the car is adapted to the outfit selected. If required, the car can be divided into a separate ‘clean’ and ‘dirty’ section. The ‘clean’ section can be fitted with an overpressure ventilation system with an air purification unit with active carbon. Further
options include for instance: a work top with a sink and running water, cooling space, gastight cabinet and a 230 V power supply.

In principle various types of cars, ranging from a van up to an all terrain vehicle, can be equipped as a research car.
