Geotechnical & Environmental Drilling Hubbard, Oregon Headquarters

Hubbard-Based Drilling Contractor Serving Oregon

From our main office and yard in Hubbard, we mobilize quickly to projects across the Willamette Valley, Portland metro, Central and Southern Oregon, the Oregon Coast, Southwest Washington, and beyond. Our location near major transportation corridors allows us to coordinate efficient mobilizations and flexible drilling windows, even on fast-track or night work.

Our Hubbard team provides a full range of geotechnical and environmental drilling services tailored to investigative work for transportation, infrastructure, buildings, industrial sites, and environmental remediation. Typical scopes include:

• Soil borings and sampling for geotechnical investigations
• Environmental soil and groundwater investigations
• Monitoring and remediation well installations (where required by project specs)
• In-situ sampling to support design and permitting

We work closely with your boring plan and specifications to achieve target depths, sampling intervals, and data quality requirements while maintaining safe, efficient operations.

Drilling Methods Available from Hubbard

We deploy multiple drilling methods from our Hubbard yard so that the right tool is matched to each project site and soil profile:

• Hollow Stem Auger – Ideal for geotechnical borings and undisturbed sampling in a variety of soils.
• Mud Rotary – Efficient for deeper borings and unconsolidated formations, often used on transportation and infrastructure projects.
• HQ Coring – Rock coring for detailed characterization of bedrock and hard formations.
• Push Probe / Direct Push – Rapid shallow investigations and environmental sampling where minimal disturbance is desired.

Your geotechnical or environmental consultant specifies the required methods and sampling program, and our crews execute that plan reliably in the field.

Limited-Access & Specialized Drilling

Many project sites present constraints such as low overhead clearance, restricted access, or water-adjacent locations. Our Hubbard fleet and crews are experienced with limited-access and specialized drilling, including:

• Low overhead clearance work (parking structures, bridges, interiors)
• Inside buildings and in tight urban sites
• Over-water and waterfront work
• Helicopter-lift equipped operations where access is remote
• Crane-lift equipped work from structures or barges
• Offshore/barge drilling for marine and river projects

We coordinate closely with your team to plan rig selection, mobilization, and safety requirements for these complex conditions.
