Abstract

See full text

A system and method for implanting an underground device. The system includes a hollow body for containing said underground device and a drive cone adapted to penetrate the ground. The drive cone is removably attached to the hollow body so that once the system is driven into the ground to a desired depth, the hollow body may be pulled upward slightly to cause the drive cone to be removed. This permits underground fluids to enter the hollow body and the underground device. The system provides a durable and inexpensive method for sampling fluids from a desired depth without requiring the drilling of a well.
