A method is disclosed for measuring the atmosphere within an enclosure. A sensor well is provided comprising a drilling head and a drill point such that the sensor well may be directly inserted into the enclosure using a drill. A sensor may be provided in the sensor well before or after the sensor well is inserted into the enclosure. Once the sensor well is inserted into the enclosure using the drill, and a sensor is provided within the bore of the sensor well, the sensor may be connected to a measuring device such that the atmosphere within the enclosure may be measured.
