Environmental Drilling Services
Expert environmental drilling contractors providing soil boring, monitoring well installation, direct push technology, and groundwater sampling for Phase II ESAs and remediation projects — nationwide.
IET's environmental drilling crews deliver accurate, regulatory-compliant subsurface data for Phase I/II ESAs, contamination investigation, monitoring programs, and in-situ remediation system installation. Our teams work seamlessly with environmental consultants, engineers, and regulators to keep projects on schedule.
Because IET also designs and implements in-situ remediation programs (ISCO, ISCR, bioremediation), our drillers understand the subsurface data needs that drive successful treatment design — a significant advantage over drilling-only contractors.
- 50+ CME, Geoprobe & AMS rigs — nationwide coverage
- Drilling + remediation expertise under one roof
- 5,000+ environmental drilling projects since 1998
- Experienced crews in all geological conditions
- Fast mobilization — competitive project pricing
- Full regulatory compliance & chain-of-custody protocols
Phase II Environmental Site Assessment
IET provides soil boring, groundwater sampling, and monitoring well installation to support Phase II ESA investigations for property transactions, regulatory compliance, and voluntary cleanups. Our crews deliver data packages that meet state and federal requirements.
Remediation System Installation
IET installs monitoring wells, injection wells, and extraction wells for ISCO, ISCR, bioremediation, air sparging, and pump-and-treat systems. Combining drilling and remediation expertise in one team reduces mobilization costs and accelerates project timelines.
Contamination Investigation & Plume Delineation
IET's environmental drilling teams characterize contaminant plumes for TCE, PCE, BTEX, petroleum hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and PFAS using soil borings, groundwater sampling, and direct push profiling tools to define the lateral and vertical extent of contamination.
What is environmental drilling?
Environmental drilling is specialized subsurface drilling performed to investigate, characterize, and monitor contaminated soil and groundwater. Services include soil boring, monitoring well installation, groundwater sampling, and remediation system installation for Phase II ESAs, regulatory compliance, and active remediation projects.
What types of drilling methods does IET use for environmental projects?
IET uses hollow-stem auger, mud rotary, air rotary, and direct push (Geoprobe/AMS) methods depending on site geology, depth requirements, and project objectives. Each method is selected to maximize data quality, minimize waste, and meet regulatory requirements.
Can IET install monitoring wells and remediation injection wells?
Yes. IET installs permanent monitoring wells, temporary wells, and remediation injection wells for ISCO, ISCR, bioremediation, and other in-situ treatment programs. Our drilling crews work closely with engineers to ensure proper screen placement, well development, and regulatory compliance.
What contaminants do IET environmental drillers work with?
IET environmental drilling crews support investigations for chlorinated solvents (TCE, PCE, DCE), petroleum hydrocarbons (BTEX, MTBE, TPH), heavy metals, PAHs, PFAS, and mixed contamination at industrial, commercial, and government sites nationwide.
Does IET provide environmental drilling nationwide?
Yes. IET mobilizes 50+ specialized rigs including CME, Geoprobe, and AMS direct push units to environmental drilling projects across the continental United States, with regional offices in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida.
