11 Hillis-Carnes maintains twenty-five (25) variably mounted drill rigs to perform subsurface sampling, testing and monitoring well installation. The drill rigs vary in carrier type, size, mast height, and torque so that we offer the flexibility to drill with a variety of power given the terrain conditions. This flexibility allows us to perform soil borings, rock coring or install monitoring wells in all environments. We specialize in difficult access drilling and have vast experience performing investigations under the most difficult circumstances. SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION With our own hauling capabilities, a faster turnaround time can be achieved for performing test pits, identifying conditions of existing foundations and performing environmental subsurface explorations. HCEA can provide rock coring, pressure meter testing, piston sampling, monitoring well installation, instrumentation or standard soil borings. All crews have completed the OSHA 40 hour training and 8 hour refresher courses.
