Subsurface Exploration Services for Landfills

 

 


ETTL offers landfill operators - as well as all of its other clients - a full fleet of truck-mounnted drilling rigs and associated vehicles for field investigations. Depending on the unit, these rigs are capable of providing hollow stem and conventional auger drilling and rotary drilling to 375 feet, and continuous sampling of soils in 2 and 5 foot intervals to depths of 300 feet. At right, samples are collected by a wireline sampler.

In addition, ETTL offers its landfill clients the capabilities of truck-mounted hydraulically-powered Geoprobe percussion-probing machines which can economically and swiftly collect soil cores and soil gas samples, as well as take groundwater samples without needing to install monitoring wells, though they also can be used for actual monitoring well installations. For especially difficult terrains, ETTL's fleet also includes two track-mounted drilling rigs. The company's drilling staff includes licensed drillers as well as highly trained helpers. All these personnel have completed the OSHA 40-hour classroom 29 CFR 1910.120 Personal Protection Safety Course.
