Drilling and Soil Probing
View Case Studies
All work is performed in accordance with State Environmental and ASTM standards.
Soil probing offers a quick and inexpensive technology to define site stratigraphy
and delineate contaminant plumes, install monitoring wells and investigate
property for real estate transactions. The rigs available from Aztech Technologies
include a Foremost Mobile B3500. This rig offers more power and versatility
than equipment of other manufacture. The drill is mounted on a four-wheel
drive vehicle. Equipment includes both a soil probe hammer and rotary top
heads. Operations can be switched from probing to drilling and back without
moving the equipment from the hole. The Foremost/Mobile 3500 is equipped with
a high torque rotary tophead, which enables the use of 6-5/8" hollow
stem augers. The hydraulic mast drop enables operation in areas of low overhead
clearance
Soil probe services:
- Continuous core sampling
- Phase II site investigation
- Depth discrete sampling
- Bio-remediation compound injection
- Monitoring well installation
- Depth to bedrock investigations
- Angle probing, from horizontal to vertical, enabling probing under structures
and foundations
- Dual wall tooling (i.e. drive outer casing and split spoon sample at discrete
depths or continuously)
Drilling and Coring services:
Aztech Technologies offers versatile equipment to drill, core and install
wells. The B3500 rig is configured to operate in areas of clearance of less
than 10 feet (e.g. under canopies and inside buildings). The 308 Rig is capable of
limited access (inside buildings, narrow spaces) and in areas where a remote
power supply is needed. Drilling capabilities include:
- 2" monitoring well installation with 4-1/4" hollow stem augers
- 4" monitoring well installation with 6-5/8" hollow stem augers
- 6" monitoring well installation with 8-1/4" hollow stem augers
- Rock drilling with 4" and 6” down hole hammers or roller bits
- Well decomissioning and grouting
- Angle drilling, from horizontal to vertical
- Geotechnical drilling
- Soil vapor extraction and sparge point installation
- NX Rock Coring
Drill tooling includes:
- Small diameter single / dual wall probe tooling
- Large diameter double wall probe tooling
- 4-1/4", 6-5/8" and 8-1/4" hollow stem augers
- 175 and 300 pound safety hammers
- 1", 2" and 3" spilt spoon samplers
- Roller bits and down hole air hammers, to 5-5/8"
- Grout and water pumps
- Angle drilling / probing capability
- NX Rock Coring Tooling
