TranslateDrilling from the IET Barges
IET's dedicated barge platforms bring full-sized drilling rigs to rivers, lakes, harbors, and waterways — enabling over-water environmental investigations and remediation programs inaccessible from shore.
Applications
- River and harbor environmental investigation
- Sediment sampling and characterization
- Marine geotechnical drilling for bridge foundations
- Waterway monitoring well installation
- Offshore and nearshore site assessment
- Canal and lake bed investigation
- Remediation injection from barge platforms
- Coastal and tidal zone drilling programs
Key Advantages
- Access to over-water and remote waterway locations
- Stable drilling platform for accurate borehole placement
- Supports full-size CME and rotary rigs on deck
- Capable of operating in rivers, lakes, and harbors
- Dual-barge system for expanded deck area
- Enables in situ remediation injection over water
- Experienced marine drilling crews with safety protocols
IET's Barge Drilling Program
IET operates its own dedicated barge fleet, providing a stable and maneuverable platform for environmental and geotechnical drilling in navigable waterways. Our barge-mounted drilling programs support marine site investigations, bridge foundation studies, over-water monitoring well installation, and in situ remediation injection at sites where access from shore is not feasible.
IET has completed barge drilling projects on major rivers, industrial harbors, and coastal waterways throughout the eastern United States. Our marine operations team coordinates all required permits, safety planning, and logistics to ensure efficient project execution. The barge platform supports CME rotary rigs and direct push equipment, providing flexibility for a wide range of over-water investigation and remediation needs.
