Geotechnical Drilling in Allegheny County, PA
Before a bridge, road, or building can move forward, our geotechnical drilling service in the Allegheny County, PA area helps gather the facts. Geotechnical drilling includes boring holes into the soil to take samples. Those samples are tested to learn how they behave under pressure. Engineers need to know how much the ground can support before work begins. Soil strength and other data go into reports that help direct the rest of the planning. That drilling and sampling usually happen during early design or just before final steps are taken. The results give engineers what they need to plan safely and avoid delays or costly adjustments later on.

Geothermal Drilling in Allegheny County, PA
In many areas of Allegheny County, PA, geothermal heating and cooling systems are being installed in growing numbers as a sustainable response to rising energy costs and environmental concerns. These systems depend on thermal exchange through deep boreholes.
Our geothermal drilling services in the Allegheny County, PA area involve placing boreholes hundreds of feet into the earth and installing closed-loop tubing systems filled with a special heat-exchanging fluid. The boreholes are grouted with a thermally conductive material to maximize energy transfer. Multiple boreholes are connected together, forming a closed system through which the fluid moves to regulate building temperatures. Sonic drilling is our preferred method due to its speed and accuracy. It allows for clean, efficient placement of the tubing and uniform grouting of the borehole walls. This increases the rate of heat transfer and supports long-term energy savings. We've relied on this technique to meet the varied demands of both residential and commercial geothermal drilling projects in Allegheny County and surrounding areas. The geothermal systems we install are built for reliability, precision, and year-round performance in any season.
Our personnel at HD Sonic Drilling, Inc. have extensive skill and experience with successful installations of geothermal wells in Allegheny County under a broad range of site conditions. Track-mounted and truck-mounted sonic drilling equipment offers many options to address even the most challenging site conditions for your Allegheny County geothermal system project.
Dewatering Wells in Allegheny County, PA
Many construction and environmental response sites in Allegheny County, PA are negatively impacted by the presence of shallow groundwater, which impedes or even prevents the installation of major subsurface structural elements of buildings or structures. On environmental response sites, shallow groundwater may be responsible for offsite transport of contaminants, or for impeding efforts to characterize or remediate the site. In many instances, installation of pumping wells is recommended by project engineers to dewater and control groundwater levels on the site. In some cases, the wells are temporary, and dewatering is only active during some key phase of site activity; in other cases, dewatering wells become permanent structures to provide long-term groundwater level control at the site. Our sonic drilling method is an ideal tool to be able to accurately identify zones of shallow groundwater in the Allegheny County area, provide continuous samples for proper and efficient well design, and install either temporary or permanent dewatering wells.
HD Sonic Drilling, Inc. specialists have well-established expertise in the successful installation of construction and environmental related dewatering wells in the Allegheny County, Pennsylvania area under a wide variety of site conditions. Our fleet of track-mounted and truck-mounted sonic drilling equipment offers various options to address even the most challenging site conditions for successful completion of your Allegheny County dewatering project.
Product Recovery Wells in Allegheny County, PA
Many environmental sites are impacted by subsurface liquid-phase contamination in sufficient quantities to form their own layer, either as an isolated layer in subsurface sediments, or as a discrete layer floating on top, or having sunk to the bottom of a groundwater unit. With proper well design and installation at your Allegheny County, PA site, a significant percentage of these contaminants, often called "free-product" or simply "product", may be recovered for proper containment and disposal. Our sonic drilling service provides the continuous sampling necessary for proper product recovery well design in the Allegheny County area, and allows pinpoint placement of recovery wells to maximize product recovery while protecting overlying subsurface units from potential cross-contamination.

Geo-Construction Drilling in Allegheny County, PA
Many types of construction projects in the Allegheny County area, notably large projects involving substantial earthen features, require a type of subsurface work known as geo-construction drilling. Our geo-construction drilling service for Allegheny County area clients includes tasks such as grout or cement injection to fill voids, or the installation of an impermeable barrier to water flow. Another application of geo-construction drilling is the injection of grout or cement to provide subsurface support for a structural load-bearing element. Although shallow geo-construction drilling may be completed using auger techniques, sonic and air rotary methods allow for deeper penetration and injection of the grouting materials at depths exceeding several hundred feet. Sonic drilling provides a highly efficient and cost-effective solution for precise grout placement for many types of geo-construction applications in Allegheny County, PA.
