BHATE offers geotechnical and environmental drilling and subsurface exploration services that are cost-effective, reliable, quality-driven and flexible to meet our clients' needs and schedules. We view drilling as an important first step in subsurface analysis.
To maintain quality, our drilling team is managed by and field work is supervised by a Professional Geologist. Our team is well versed in ASTM and AASHTO specification requirements and safety trained in OSHA, CPR and hazardous materials. Team members are DOT regulated professional drivers with some having CDL “A” licenses.
