Benefits of Using FLUTe Liners
1) Provide a continuous seal of a borehole or pipe, and prevent migration of formation fluids through the open hole. No sealing grouts or bentonite seals are needed.
​
2) Quickly map borehole transmissivity and vertical head distributions while displacing the borehole water. Equivalent to conducting packer testing on a 6" to 12" scale with higher resolution and no issues of leakage or packer bypass.
​
3) Map contaminant distribution in the pure phase (NAPL FLUTe) and dissolved phase (FACT).
​
4) Collect multiple discrete groundwater samples directly from the formation via a positive displacement gas driven sampling liner (Water FLUTe) and a peristaltic pump driven liner (Shallow Water FLUTe).
​
5) Reduce cost and field time for the client while delivering high resolution data.
​
6) Carry many useful devices such as tubing, instruments, absorbers, reactive covers, etc. into place in the borehole while maintaining a continuous seal of the borehole.
​
7) Support the borehole wall against slough and collapse.
8) Custom fabricated to meet demands of many different diameters and materials for many applications.
​
9) Propagate through tortuous passages of varying diameters inaccessible to rigid piping or push rods.
10) Warrantied and fully removable without the liner touching any other portion of the borehole wall.
