Drilling Methods

Air Rotary Drilling

Best for drilling through hardrock or consolidated rock formations. Uses compressed air or mud and water circulation to clear cuttings as the bit advances.

Mud Rotary Drilling

Best for drilling in loose, soft, or unstable formations. Uses water and/or other additives for circulation.

Hollow Stem Auger

Ideal for environmental and geotechnical drilling in soft to moderately consolidated, shallow formations. Hollow stem augers remove cuttings while providing an open pathway through the center of the auger for collecting representative soil samples, conducting SPT and TPT tests and installing monitoring wells or geotechnical instrumentation. This versatile drilling method supports subsurface characterization, geotechnical investigations, soil sampling, and groundwater monitoring while providing efficient access to the formation without requiring temporary casing.

Direct Push

Best for sites needing representative soil, groundwater, or soil-gas sampling, or small-diameter well installation. Includes access to Geoprobe® platforms for in-situ subsurface measurements, including Membrane Interface Probe, Hydraulic Profiling Tool, and LIF/ DyeLIF/ OIP/ UVOST®/ TarGOST® technologies.
