Environmental drilling is a necessity in the vast open areas of West Texas, as it is in the midst of large cities like Dallas and Houston. Businesses often need to have someone come in and drill to check for contaminants or to plug an old, abandoned well. The worry is that the drilling project will interrupt normal business operations. The drilling or plugging needs to happen, but the business needs to still run during regular hours and make money. How do you get the environmental project done without closing the business down for a day or two, and losing valuable revenue?

Can an Environmental Drilling Company Work Around Business's Hours?

Every business is different. Some have fixed business hours like 9 AM to 5 PM. Others have people in and out from early morning to late evening. Still others are open 24/7. Working within the business' parameters is one of the hallmarks of a good environmental drilling operation.

Let's look at some specific situations and how the drilling company can avoid business interruption:

• An office building is open 9 AM to 5 PM from Monday through Friday. The drilling company can work in the evenings or over the weekends.
  
  
• A grocery store is open from 7 AM to 11 PM, seven days a week. The drilling company would do its work while the business is closed at night.
  
  
• A convenience store is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, all year round. The drilling company would work at the least busy time of operations, usually between 10 PM and 6 AM and in the least busy days from specific dates.
  
  
• An industrial operation has ongoing work just about all the time. There is plenty of room for the drilling company to do its work without interrupting business. However, at a particular time of the day, say 2 PM to 5 PM, the site has critical operations going. The drilling company would do its work at a time that will not interrupt that critical operation.
  
  
• Doing work on highways or other high traffic sites means doing the work at non-peak traffic times. That might be between the peak rush hours or at night or on the weekends.

How do I Choose an Environmental Drilling Company?

As you can see, drilling operations can go on when it is least likely to affect the business. Some drilling companies are reluctant to do off-hours work. You need a company that does not have this hesitation and can complete the project safely and on budget.
