How can we help on your next project?
One of the first steps in project planning is site selection. The site selection process often requires completion of environmental due diligence and site hydrogeologic assessments. To complete these tasks, Environmental Drilling and Cone Penetrometer Testing (CPT) are typically employed.
Raba Kistner’s experienced employees and specialized drilling and CPT rigs collect highly specific soil samples and perform in situ testing at your project sites to evaluate soil composition and groundwater parameters for potential environmental impacts to aid in site evaluation.
Environmental Drilling
Environmental drilling focuses on activities related to assessing and managing the impact of human activities on the environment. This can include groundwater and soil sampling, monitoring well installations, and soil vapor sampling. Environmental drilling is crucial in addressing issues like contamination remediation, environmental site assessments, and regulatory compliance.
Cone Penetrometer Testing (CPT)
Cone Penetrometer Testing (CPT) is a supplemental geotechnical investigation method that uses an instrumented cone, which is hydraulically advanced into the ground at a controlled rate, to measure geotechnical properties of the soils and to delineate soil stratigraphy.
