The standard for environmental site investigations in unconsolidated formations.
Licensed drillers and premium equipment to meet any project requirements.
Collection of discrete groundwater samples with Geoprobe and temporary screens for robust CSMs.
Rapid installation of wells for denser monitoring networks.
Safe and reliable installation of landfill bores using sonic rigs and gas control systems.
Non-destructive digging (NDD) to eliminate the risk of damaging subsurface services.
The Geoprobe Drilling Rig is the industry standard in Contaminated land investigations.
The Geoprobe 78 Series is considered one of the best rigs for contaminated land investigations due to its efficiency, versatility, and minimal site impact.
Here’s why it stands out:
1. No Drilling Fluids Required – Reduced Contamination Risk
Unlike conventional drilling methods, the Geoprobe 78 Series does not require drilling fluids for any of its sampling or installation processes.
Eliminating drilling fluids:
Prevents cross-contamination between soil and groundwater layers.
Reduces the risk of introducing foreign substances to the site.
Lowers disposal costs associated with fluid waste.
2. Compact and Highly Maneuverable
Track-mounted design allows access to tight, restricted, or sensitive sites, including urban and industrial areas.
Lightweight and low-impact, preventing excessive ground disturbance and reducing post-investigation site restoration costs.
3. Versatile Sampling Capabilities
Geoprobe Rigs Support Direct Push Technology (DPT) for high-resolution site characterization without generating excessive waste.
Can efficiently collect:
Soil samples (Macro-Core®, Dual-Tube, Discrete).
Groundwater samples (via pre-packed screens or drive-point wells).
Soil gas samples for vapor intrusion studies.
No drill cuttings produced, eliminating costly waste management.
4. Fast and Efficient Operation
Quick setup and sampling speeds reduce field time and project costs.
Direct push technology enables rapid subsurface data collection, allowing for quicker decision-making in contaminated site assessments.
Reduces downtime and cleanup efforts compared to conventional drilling.
5. Minimal Environmental Impact
No drilling muds or fluids means no need for disposal or containment, making it ideal for environmentally sensitive sites.
Reduces disturbance to surrounding ecosystems and infrastructure.
Helps maintain natural groundwater flow without fluid interference.
6. Adaptable to Various Site Conditions
Powerful enough to penetrate compacted soils, clays, and saturated zones while still being lightweight and easy to transport.
Can be equipped with augering capabilities when needed for additional support.
8. Cost-Effective Solution
Lower operational costs compared to larger drilling rigs.
No need for drilling fluid procurement, handling, or disposal.
Faster sampling reduces labor costs and mobilization expenses.
