Long before the sun rises, a driller’s day is already underway. While most people are still asleep, the coffee is brewing, gear is being loaded, and the crew is heading toward another job site. Every day starts with a destination, but rarely does anyone know...
When contamination is discovered in soil or groundwater, identifying the problem is only the beginning. Remediation is the process of removing, treating, containing, or otherwise managing contaminants so that a site can be returned to a safe and usable condition. While environmental consultants, engineers, scientists,...

In environmental drilling and groundwater monitoring, every material installed below grade matters. Environmental professionals spend enormous amounts of time and money investigating contamination, sampling groundwater, and designing remediation systems — yet one critical issue is often overlooked:...
When you’re drilling - whether for environmental monitoring, geotechnical work, or water wells—the materials you install don’t just support the borehole. They become part of the environment. PVC casing and screens often sit in soil and groundwater for decades, which means their quality matters far beyond...
The geotechnical and environmental drilling industry may feel far removed from global conflict, but the effects of war are closer than they seem. When tensions rise in key regions of the world, especially those tied to oil and trade, the impact quickly shows up in...
Inflation has affected nearly every aspect of daily life. Fuel, food, housing, insurance, equipment, and transportation costs have all increased significantly over the past several years. For many drillers, however, compensation has remained largely unchanged, creating a growing gap between earnings and expenses....
The history of geotechnical drilling in North America is a testament to human ingenuity, determination, and the unending pursuit of knowledge. Geotechnical drilling, a crucial component of civil engineering and construction projects, has evolved over centuries to become an indispensable tool for assessing the subsurface...
Like it or not, when it comes to how a job looks, perception is reality. If a job looks bad, then people are going to think you did a bad job....
The truth is – steel covers begin to rust the minute they hit the ground—and get worse as time goes by. Rust breeds more rust....
