Our Process
What is Environmental Drilling?
Environmental drilling involves creating boreholes to investigate subsurface conditions, collect soil and groundwater samples, and install monitoring infrastructure during environmental site investigations. It is commonly used for contaminated land assessments, Phase 2 Detailed Site Investigation (DSI), groundwater investigations, and environmental monitoring programs.
TerraForma provides environmental drilling services in accordance with investigation plans, consultant specifications, and project requirements. Our purpose-built ute-mounted drilling platform enables environmental investigations on constrained sites where larger conventional drilling rigs may have access limitations.
