Environmental Field Services

Environmental drilling

Environmental drilling and sampling services are the first solutions that offer by Diversified Drilling Inc. (DDI) to cover our clients’ requirements for investigate, monitor, and sometimes remediate purposes in a specific job site. It’s important to choose the right drilling technology and sampling techniques. This selection is usually based on different ground conditions. For instance, we can point to underlying geology and hydrology and the existence of contamination in the soil or groundwater.

We employ a wide range of environmental drilling and sampling techniques and tools to provide data for engineering and design. We use different types of drilling applications such as Hollow Stem Auger, Direct Push and AMS systems. Also, we are using Limited Access Drilling equipments in environmental investigations.

In addition, we have consistently produced accurate undisturbed soil and groundwater samples and constructed wells for monitoring and remediation efficiently.

Environmental Construction

Environmental Construction

Environmental construction

DDI’s professional technicians are providing complete phases of construction for Pilot testing, Vapor sampling and SVE or DPVE treatment installations. These phases including but not limited to saw cutting, core cutting, excavation, piping, demolition, backfilling, compaction and surface completion.

We have experience working on a variety of sites, such as active or legacy Dry cleaners, Gas stations, Car washes and other industrial sites which needs environmental field services for their environmental investigations and remediation purposes.

Mobile Pilot testing system

Environmental pilot testing is a process used to evaluate the effectiveness of environmental control technologies or strategies on a small scale before implementation on a larger scale. The purpose of pilot testing is to identify any issues or problems that may arise during implementation and to refine the technology or strategy to optimize its effectiveness.

Environmental pilot testing can be used in figuring out the feasibility of soil vapor and groundwater remediation activities. One of the main results in this phase is to achieve radius of influence.

DDI has the experience, equipment, and technical expertise to handle this phase of your investigation by their mobile pilot testing system, even where there is no sufficient electricity.

Soil vapor extraction (SVE)

Soil vapor extraction (SVE)

Soil vapor extraction (SVE)

Soil vapor extraction (SVE) is a common method of soil remediation used to remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from contaminated soil. SVE is an in situ (in-place) treatment technique that involves the extraction of contaminated vapors from the soil using a vacuum system.

SVE is effective for treating soils contaminated with low to moderate levels of VOCs. It is particularly useful for sites with shallow soil contamination and can be used as a standalone remediation method or in combination with other techniques such as bioremediation or chemical treatment.

The effectiveness of SVE depends on several factors, including the type and concentration of contaminants, soil type, and groundwater conditions. SVE may take several months or years to complete, and monitoring is required to ensure that the remediation process is effective.

Overall, SVE is a cost-effective and efficient method for remediating contaminated soil and can be used to remove a wide range of VOCs, making it a popular choice for soil remediation projects.

DDI along with their expert technicians provides SVE system, cooperate with your company’s field staff, or operate independently, depending on your project needs.​

Dual phase vapor extraction (DPVE)

Dual-phase vapor extraction (DPVE) is a variation of soil vapor extraction (SVE) that is used to remediate soil and groundwater contaminated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs). DPVE is a two-phase system that simultaneously removes VOCs from both the soil and the groundwater, which makes it more effective than SVE alone for sites where both media are contaminated.

The effectiveness of DPVE depends on several factors, including the type and concentration of contaminants, soil and groundwater type, and site-specific conditions.

DDI along with their expert technicians provides DPVE system, cooperate with your company’s field staff, or operate independently, depending on your project needs.​

Sub-Slab Vapor Pin installation

Sub-Slab Vapor Pin installation

Sub-slab vapor pins are a type of vapor pin that are installed underneath the concrete slab of a building to sample for the presence and concentration of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the soil vapor. Sub-slab vapor pin installation is a common method of assessing indoor air quality in buildings located on or near contaminated sites.

It allows for the identification of potential health risks associated with the inhalation of VOCs that may be present in the soil vapor and can be used to support regulatory compliance and site closure requirements.

DDI’s professional technicians are providing complete Sub-Slab Vapor Pin installation and vapor sampling to cover your requirements.

Different Drilling Methods

  • Limited Access Drilling
  • Direct Push Drilling
  • Auger Drilling

Limited Access Drilling equipments are essential to operate in many geotechnical or environmental investigations when we have to work in narrow opening places or height limitations such as backyards, driveways or warehouses. Also, limited access drilling machines greatly increase safety and maneuverability in slopes.

Direct push Drilling (DP) typically uses to drive or push small diameter (Usually less than four inches in diameter) rods and tools into the subsurface by hydraulic or percussive methods.

Direct push Drilling method is applicable in unconsolidated sediments. It is most applicable for shallow depths (less than 100 feet). Soil, groundwater, and soil gas samples can be collected by this method. Both single tube and dual tube DP methods are used for sampling of soils and groundwater. DP methods also may be used to install monitoring wells and soil vapor sampling devices.

Auger drilling systems are commonly used to set ground water monitoring wells, obtaining soil samples and performing Standard Penetration Testing (SPT) by auto hammer system for environmental and geotechnical applications. Also, we use AMS soil augers for obtaining disturbed soil samples at or near the surface and for boring to depths where samples may be obtained with a soil sampler or soil core sampler.
