Environmental Services Tampa What Drilling Services Fall Under Environmental Services?

Environmental drilling is an aspect of geotechnical drilling that has a lot of services and testing available. It is an umbrella term that incumpesses a wide varity of techniques to help better understand the composition of the soil and sediments below your feet. For example one popular type of environmental services Tampa contractors end up using is in conjunction with well development and well abandonment. When contractors are building on a site that needs a well or has an abandoned well that needs to be properly sealed and taken care of, they call upon geotechnical drilling companies to perform environmental services.

Water Sampling as an Environmental Service

Water sampling is another broad aspect of geotechnical drilling and environmental services. Tampa contractors for some reason or another need the water on a site tested for many different aspects. In the situation that a well is being installed on a construction site the water needs to be tested for microbial life. Bacterial analysis is a big part of water sampling for most contractors because they want to make sure that this water is okay to be consumed by humans. Lead analysis and other mineral tests are also used quite frequently in the geotechnical drilling industry. Not all water sampling is for human water consumption. Irrigation water as well as water for livestock is also analysed.

Soil and Sediment Analyses

Soil and sediment are a basic resource for the agricultural industry as well as being a crucial factor in the construction and mining industry. As natural resources both soils and sediments are areas of study for geologists and ecologists where characterization can help to determine the processes the material has undergone and its effects on the environment. With Environmental services, Tampa geotechnical companies keep themselves pretty busy with all the different industries that would need soil or sediment analyses to help them do their job more accordingly. Soil and sediment analyses can also be performed off shore for water construction projects; oil rigs are a classic example.
