EMBASSY

The ANTECH EMBASSY is a versatile assay system for in-situ spectroscopic measurements of buckets of soil, rubble and other materials coming from land remediation and decommissioning activities. The system features a large, temperature controlled Sodium Iodide (NaI) detector housed within a shielded detector housing actuated vertically to and from the measurement position.

The EMBASSY system features two operators; an excavator operator and a subject matter expert who remotely controls the assay system via a wireless rugged tablet. The excavator operator collects a sample in the bucket and positions it in the measurement position, guided by a hardware target. When safe, the subject matter initiates a measurement using the operator tablet, from a safe position outside the reach of the excavator or EMBASSY equipment. Once triggered, the EMBASSY detector is lowered from it’s idle position, pivoting to be positioned directly over the excavator bucket. Once in the measurement position, the system carries out an assay for a configurable preset time, collecting spectral information of the sample. Once the spectrum is acquired, the detector automatically returns to the idle position above the excavator operator cab, out of their field of view and the results are analysed.
