Common Questions
Environmental drilling is used to investigate subsurface conditions for contaminated land assessments, Phase 2 Detailed Site Investigations (DSI), acid sulfate soil investigations, VENM and ENM investigations, and groundwater monitoring programs. TerraForma Drilling provides the borehole across Greater Sydney and regional NSW. Sampling, logging, and chain of custody remain with the environmental consultant at all times.
No. TerraForma Drilling drills the borehole only. Sampling, logging, chain of custody, and laboratory submission are managed entirely by the environmental consultant. TerraForma Drilling never handles or interprets environmental samples. This keeps your investigation data clean and your chain of custody intact.
Yes. TerraForma Drilling's ute-mounted SFA rig is purpose-built for constrained sites across Greater Sydney — narrow lots, basement carparks, low-clearance buildings, operating industrial facilities, and inner-city sites where conventional truck-mounted rigs cannot operate. If a standard ute can access the site, TerraForma Drilling can drill it.
TerraForma Drilling mobilises to Greater Sydney sites within 24 hours of booking confirmation. Same-day quotes are available for all environmental drilling programs across Sydney and NSW. Send your investigation scope to sales@tfdrilling.com.au or call (02) 7239 8878.
