  • Publication number: 20130299161
    Abstract: A double packer apparatus according to embodiments of the present invention may include a first guide unit provided in a borehole within a ground, a second guide unit provided within the ground to cover an external surface of the first guide unit, a packer unit to support the second guide unit in the borehole, and seal a portion of an area provided within the ground, and a photographing unit to enter the first guide unit and photograph the ground, wherein a portion of the external surface of the first guide unit includes a transparent window for photographing the ground. A ground may be investigated directly using a configuration described in the foregoing, thereby contributing to an enhancement of efficiency.

  • Patent number: 7878239
    Abstract: A fluid collecting apparatus inserted in a borehole for collecting fluid in the borehole. The fluid collecting apparatus may include a first packer and a second packer which are selectively adhered to an inside of the borehole, a first supply pipe and a second supply pipe which supply expansion fluid to each of the first packer and the second packer, and a guide tube which guides fluid in a collecting space between the first packer and the second packer to an outside of the borehole. Also, the second supply pipe moves with the second packer in a longitudinal direction of the borehole, and a passage which does not communicate with the first supply pipe is formed. Accordingly, the fluid collecting apparatus may independently control the first and second packers, and thus fluid in a desired depth and region within the borehole may be easily collected.

  • Patent number: 7770636
    Abstract: A groundwater collecting apparatus which can continuously collect groundwater, and can selectively collect groundwater at a specific depth by directly generating vertical movement is provided. The groundwater collecting apparatus includes: a vibration unit selectively admitting groundwater which exists in the monitoring well according to vibration in a vertical direction; a driving unit being supplied a power to vibrate the vibration unit in a vertical direction; and a hollow guide pipe being connected to the vibration unit to guide the groundwater to a ground, the groundwater having flowed into the vibration unit through a channel inlet of the vibration unit.
