Abstract
A geophysical sensor deployment sleeve includes an electrically non-conductive fiber woven into a shape of a tube open at one end and closed at the other end. The fiber has a tensile strength such that upward force applied to the open end of the tube is capable of removal of a sensor or sensor recording node disposed in the tube in a hole below a ground surface irrespective of consolidated materials infiltrating and/or covering the tube below ground level.
Claims14
A geophysical sensor deployment sleeve, comprising
- an electrically non-conductive fiber woven into a shape of a tube open at one end and closed at the other end, the woven fiber having a tensile strength such that upward force applied to the open end of the tube is capable of removal of a sensor or sensor recording node disposed in the tube and embedded in a hole below a ground surface irrespective of consolidated materials infiltrating and/or covering the tube below ground level.
A method for deploying a geophysical sensor, comprising
- at least one of inserting a geophysical sensor in a woven fiber tube and coupling the geophysical sensor to the woven fiber tube, the tube comprising a woven electrically non-conductive fiber open at one end and closed at the other end, the woven fiber having a tensile strength such that upward force applied to the open end of the tube is capable of removal of a sensor or sensor recording node disposed in the tube in a hole below a ground surface irrespective of consolidated materials infiltrating and/or covering the tube below ground level;
- and
- pushing the geophysical sensor into ground at least partially below the ground surface.
