Drilling Services

Universal Drilling & Boring, Inc (UDB) offers complete professional Geotechnical and Environmental drilling, engineering support and laboratory testing which are vital services to the design and construction of a project. Subsurface soil, rock and ground water conditions identified, detected and classified-play as an important role in a project as the architectural, civil and structural design that’s above ground. This is especially true when construction is being considered on a property which may also be potentially contaminated. Properly performed geotechnical and environmental drilling services can result in improved foundation design, reduced construction costs and ensure real estate transactions are sound. Universal provides our clients with accurate and representative information concerning subsurface conditions.
