Environmental Drilling is used to determine the existence of contamination in soil or groundwater. Discrete undisturbed soil and groundwater samples are collected from the subsurface in order to evaluate, monitor and remediate site contamination. This form of drilling requires the use of clean, non-contaminated above and belowground equipment, in order to provide accurate sample integrity
and eliminate the possibility of cross contamination between sampling locations.JSA has the capability to install wells and soil borings by hollow stem auger method, mud rotary method, hand auguring and direct push technology.
