Services
Full Service Drilling
Our comprehensive drilling services utilize advanced rigs like the SaberCat MTXD and Yeti M10 for geotechnical investigations. We handle truck-mounted, limited-access, and all-terrain projects with capabilities in auger, air percussion, and mud rotary drilling. Our CARB-compliant equipment ensures environmental responsibility while delivering precise subsurface data for construction and engineering applications.
Soil Sampling
We provide accurate soil sampling using auto hammers, safety hammers, and custom-built donut hammers. Our eSPT digital system offers ASTM-compliant data with cloud transmission capabilities. Services include Cal Modified Sampler, Shelby Tubes, and continuous soil coring for environmental and geotechnical assessments across challenging terrains.
Cone Penetration Testing
Our CPT services use truck-mounted rigs to collect tip stress, sleeve stress, and pore pressure data. The SaberCat MTXD and Yeti M10 systems provide interpreted readings for geotechnical analysis. We offer real-time data transmission and preparation for foundation design and subsurface mapping applications.
Monitoring Well Installation
We install monitoring wells in limited-access and open-field locations following San Diego County DEH standards. Our capabilities include piezometers, vapor probes, and inclinometers. We provide backfill installation, well development, and abandonment services for environmental monitoring and groundwater assessment projects.
Support Services
Our support services include steam cleaning for equipment decontamination and concrete coring to streamline project timelines. We use triple-rinsing stations with deionized water for environmental compliance and provide generators for coring operations without existing power sources.

Report
We used Pacific Drilling for the installation of high-precision geodetic monuments that required skill, creativity, and attention to detail. The crew was hardworking and interactions with management were professional. All of those involved cared about our goals and it was a very good experience. Drilling is an art form, and I intend to use Pacific Drilling again.

Report
Do not hire this drilling company. Their dispatch team does not answer the phone, does not respond to voicemails, and does not send communication via email when they say they will. Their drilling teams do not come prepared with the proper equipment to complete the job they have been hired to do, and make incorrect suggestions as to how the job should progress. Their owner also does not communicate when he says he will. We will never hire them again. I am only giving one star because it does not allow me to do zero.
