Environmental Drilling Winter Park What Types of Environments Can Drill Professionals Work in?

Geotechnical drilling is a much larger and more important industry than many people realize. Many people assume that geotechnical drilling professionals are related to construction, and although they can often work together, they are actually two different industries.

Geotechnical drilling professionals can find themselves drilling into vastly different conditions, depending on the location of a job and what type of service they are doing. Oftentimes when going to a new location, drilling can be called environmental drilling. Winter Park residents should know however that environmental drilling does not necessarily mean that drilling professionals will be working in the middle of nowhere hours away from a large city.

Here are some of the environmental that drilling professionals can find themselves working in for their clients.

Construction sites

One of the more common environmental conditions a person may see a geotechnical drilling company working in are construction sites. These can be in a large city such as building up existing infrastructure, or it can be drilling that is done for buildings that are going to be newly constructed.

When it comes to construction sites and services related to environmental drilling, Winter Park residents should know that they can be doing multiple tasks for a construction company, as they do not have the necessary tools and equipment to do it themselves.

For example, when a geotechnical drilling company is called out to  the location for a structure that is going to be put up, they will be tasked with first collecting samples at the location to see what types of soils and sediments are present. Another important drilling service at construction sites is known as foundational drilling.

Residential Areas

Another type of environment that a professional geotechnical drilling company may be working in that not too many people think about are residential home areas.

There are actually many services that are important for homeowners to consider in specific circumstances, some of which you would not picture as being related to environmental drilling. Winter Park residents should be made aware that some of these drilling services should only be done by professionals.

One of the most popular drilling services for residential homeowners is related to well construction and well sealing. Not every location is suitable to have a ground well, but there are many residential areas in the state of Florida that could benefit from having access to groundwater.
