Install lysimeter without disturbing soil

Can a lysimeter system be installed without disturbing the soils in a site? Does UMS have the
expertise to do it? -

It is hard to install a lysimeter in a site without disturbing the surrounding soil because of the wells that need to be installed. You can take intact monoliths that are undisturbed and UMS has been doing this for over 20 years in a broad range of different soil types. They know what it takes to get a good intact monolith. In special circumstances it is possible to install a lysimeter system with minimal disturbance to the surrounding area. An example of this is a lysimeter site that UMS had to install in a national forest in Germany in which they could only disturb the soil that the lysimeter wells were sitting in without extending into the surrounding area. They were able to take special precautions to conduct this installation without disturbing the surrounding area.
