Environmental Assessment Drilling

Environmental Assessment Drilling was formed to provide Engineers in our area a smaller more versatile rig designed specifically for investigating contamination in overburden and that would be capable of working in areas with low overhead clearance. This unit uses 4 ¼ inch I.D. hollow stem augers (for 2 " monitoring well installation). This smaller size rig with its reduced cost would also have a smaller charge out rate. We added shear vane testing and dynamic cone penetration as an additional service. The demand for internal drilling for investigation beneath floor slabs compelled us to add a core drill and a split spoon hammer system using an electric jackhammer. As the needs of our engineering clients change, we will change our systems to accommodate them.

Services Available:

  • Hollow stem auger drilling with split spoon sampling
