What was the Wilmore School drilling project?

IET performed air rotary drilling for temporary well installation as part of a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment at Wilmore School in North Carolina, contracted by Hart & Hickman.

Why was air rotary drilling used?

The project required DPT equipment with air rotary capabilities to efficiently reach the water table through the site's geology, where standard direct push alone could not achieve the needed depth.

What equipment did IET deploy?

IET used a track-mounted Geoprobe with air rotary capabilities, completed in February 2024 for the Wilmore School Phase II ESA.

Were temporary wells installed?

Yes. IET installed temporary wells via air rotary drilling to support Phase II ESA groundwater characterization at the school property.

Can IET support Phase II ESA drilling for schools and sensitive sites?

Yes. IET provides low-impact Phase II ESA drilling for schools and sensitive properties nationwide, using track-mounted and direct push equipment suited to constrained or sensitive environments.
