When Alaska's geotechnical and environmental communities need auger drilling services, they contact GeoTek Alaska. This Anchorage-based company prides itself on having the experience and the equipment to execute any drilling task, from well monitoring to groundwater sampling. Whether you're in Prudhoe Bay or Skagway, GeoTek Alaska will come to you to complete the project.

If you're not quite sure what auger drilling is, here are three common reasons why people contact GeoTek Alaska to take care of the work:

• Groundwater Monitoring Wells: One of the most popular applications of auger drilling is for well monitoring. In little to no time, GeoTek Alaska can change from their direct push technology to auger drilling, thus allowing your team to install 2" or 4" groundwater monitoring wells.

• Pilot Holes: There are times when standard machinery won't be able to pierce through a surface. When you need to make pilot holes in dense materials like asphalt or frozen ground, call GeoTek Alaska for assistance. They'll be able to finish the job quickly and efficiently with auger drilling.

• Soil Vapor Extraction: Another common reason to use auger drilling is to prepare a site for soil vapor extraction tooling or equipment needed for downhole monitoring systems. Since GeoTek Alaska has 15 years of experience in the geotechnical industry, they'll be able to assess your work area and get you set up for installation, all for an affordable price.
