Our Services
Technicon has been in the business of drilling for over 25 years and throughout this time we have prided ourselves on offering quality services and accountability. Listed below is a description of our drill rigs and their capabilities.
CME-45 2×4
This drill rig can be used for geotechnical drilling, environmental drilling, and shallow ground water monitoring wells, vapor wells, and well demolition or abandonment. This drill rig is not equipped to drill more than 5’ to 10’ below ground water due to surging in the auger and causing disturbance to geotechnical samples. The depth limitations on this drill rig are between 50’ and 60’ below the surface depending on the site soil conditions. The auger selections for this drill rig consist of 4” straight flight and 8.5” hollow stem auger.
Samplers
Our Sampling apparatuses consist of Standard Penetration Test (spt), California Modified sampler, and 2” Environmental sampler.
Certifications
All of our drillers are 40-hour HAZWOPER trained, CPR certified, and ATSSA certified flaggers.

This drill rig can be used for geotechnical drilling, environmental drilling, and shallow ground water monitoring wells, vapor wells, and well demolition or abandonment. This drill rig is not equipped to drill more than 5’ to 10’ below ground water due to surging in the auger and causing disturbance to geotechnical samples. The depth limitations on this drill rig are between 30’ and 40’ below the surface depending on the site soil conditions. The auger selections for this drill rig consist of 4” straight flight and 8” hollow stem auger.
Experience
