4、by direct pushmethods(for example,addition of a suitable hammer and/orhydraulic ram systems).Injection logs exceeding 100 ft 30mdepth have been obtained.Direct push methods are notintended to penetrate consolidated rock and may encounterrefusal in very dense formations or when cobbles or bouldersare
