Environmental Drilling Tampa

Tampa environmental consulting firms, developers and property owners frequently turn to the experts at Amdrill, Inc. for assistance with environmental drilling. Tampa is located on Florida’s west coast on the Gulf of Mexico, so while some of our environmental drilling projects involve land-based drilling, there are some clients who require off shore marine drilling too.

But why do you perform environmental drilling? Tampa geotechnical drilling experts with Amdrill, Inc. will explore the various applications for this specialty practice.

What is Environmental Drilling?

Tampa natives may turn to an environmental drilling firm like Amdrill Inc. for assistance with a broad range of different projects. Environmental drilling projects typically involve one of three basic goals:

• To investigate the composition, integrity or contamination at a site
• To monitor the site for water levels, contamination and other conditions
• To remedy a problem at the site.

We can use a wide range of different drilling techniques as part of an environmental project, including augers, air rotary drills, mud rotary drills and sonic drilling techniques. Some projects may entail drilling a small borehole, while others may require lots of soil samples and core samples, or performing more extensive drilling for semi-permanent wells or even structures, such as a wind turbine. We have the ability.

Since environmental drilling projects are often performed in wetlands, in marine environments and in other sensitive ecosystems, Amdrill, Inc. takes a very proactive approach that limits any negative effects upon the surrounding environment and ecosystem. For example, drill cuttings and drilling fluids, if necessary, will be contained and collected to prevent any adverse impact on the surrounding environment.

When it comes to environmental drilling, Tampa clients frequently contact us to assist with a range of different needs, from drilling a monitoring well, to extracting core samples and soil samples to evaluate the extent of contamination, or to determine the water content/saturation level of the soil in specific areas, to give experts more insight into the water flow at the site.

Amdrill is available to assist with a range of different projects involving environmental drilling in Tampa and the surrounding region. We have a wide range of drill types and vehicles, including boats, barges, ATVs, amphibious vehicles, remote control vehicles, trucks and a variety other vehicles that allow us to access virtually any location.
