Well Drilling

RSCS provides drilling and subsurface investigation services to support environmental, hydrogeological, geotechnical, infrastructure, and remediation projects. Our team selects drilling and sampling methods based on site conditions, investigation objectives, access limitations, required depths, and the type and quality of data needed. Techniques may include conventional drilling, direct-push technologies, soil and bedrock coring, and other targeted investigation methods appropriate to the project.

A key strength of RSCS is our extensive experience performing subsurface investigations at complex operating and decommissioning nuclear facilities. Drilling in these environments requires careful evaluation of buried utilities, piping, structures, and other potential subsurface obstructions before intrusive work begins. Our geospatial and engineering teams support drilling programs by integrating available drawings, utility information, historical records, geophysical investigation results, GIS data, and other site information to improve borehole planning and reduce the risk associated with subsurface activities. RSCS also utilizes compact and minimally invasive investigation equipment where appropriate to access constrained locations and reduce site disturbance.

Drilling programs can be integrated with soil and groundwater sampling, geologic logging, monitoring well installation, down-hole investigations, aquifer testing, and other characterization activities. By combining drilling capabilities with environmental, hydrogeological, engineering, and geospatial expertise, RSCS helps clients safely obtain the subsurface information needed to support informed project decisions.
