Contamination Levels Change
Faster Than Your Spreadsheets
The Challenge
Lab results lag behind field work
You collect 40 confirmatory samples on Monday. Results come back Friday. You have been excavating all week based on assumptions, not data. Some areas were over-excavated, others under-excavated.
Field screening data lives on scratch paper
PID readings, visual observations, and odor descriptions are scribbled on field books that never get digitized. The real-time data that guides excavation decisions is the least organized.
Contamination boundaries are approximate
The remediation work plan shows contamination boundaries based on the investigation phase. In the field, actual boundaries differ. But updating the delineation map from paper logs is a manual, slow process.
Exceedance notifications are delayed
When a sample exceeds action levels, the regulatory agency needs notification within a specific timeframe. Paper-based tracking means you do not realize there is an exceedance until the PM reviews the lab report days later.
The POD Advantage
Voice-logged field screening
Log PID readings, soil descriptions, and odor observations as you encounter them. POD maps field screening data to specific locations and timestamps for real-time delineation.
Lab result integration
When lab results come back, POD matches them to field screening data, sample locations, and chain of custody records. Complete data lineage from field to lab.
Dynamic contamination mapping
As field screening and lab data accumulate, POD updates contamination boundary estimates in real time. Excavation decisions based on current data, not month-old investigations.
Exceedance alerts
When any result exceeds action levels, immediate notifications to the PM, site safety officer, and regulatory contact. Start the clock on required notifications the moment data arrives.
Built for Contamination Management
“We were excavating based on 3-week-old sample data. POD lets us log PID readings and field observations in real time so we know the contamination boundaries as we dig, not 2 weeks after.”
