Drilling services

Over the years, we have developed an in-house drilling operation to conduct subsurface investigations that support our internal geotechnical engineering team, as well as outside clients.

ANS Consultants drilling team has 20+ years of experience and our fleet features two track-mounted drill rigs, which we utilize for small to medium sized investigations within the Tri-State area.  

ANS Consultants drilling team advances boreholes using direct push methods with the geoprobe drill rig for environmental sampling and mud rotary drilling or hollow stem auger methods using Acker XLS drill rig for geotechnical borings.

Soil borings are advanced as per ASTM D1586/D1586M-18 – Standard Test Method for Standard Penetration Test (SPT) and Split Barrel Sampling of Soils.
