EBA Engineering Drilling

Subsurface exploration is an essential part of all geotechnical investigations and often part of environmental investigations at contaminated sites. EBA provides geotechnical and environmental drilling services to characterize subsurface conditions and collect samples of soil, rock, and groundwater. The drilling services include:

Soil boring and sampling
Groundwater sampling
Rock coring and sampling
Concrete and asphalt core sampling
In-situ testing
Installation of groundwater monitoring wells
Installation of piezometers, inclinometers, and other geotechnical instruments

EBA's staff of drillers have all completed the OSHA 40-hour, HAZWOPER training and have contaminated site experience. The Drilling Department is managed by Kenneth R. Manos, II, a licensed Master Well Driller with over 20 years of experience. The Drilling Department is equipped with:

Two truck-mounted drill rigs
Two all-terrain vehicle-mounted drill rigs
Hand augers
A tripod drill rig for sites with difficult access

Associated equipment includes support vehicles, rock and concrete coring equipment, special soil sampling devices, large diameter augers, and assorted drilling tools.
