Subsurface investigation is how a project team finds out what is actually under the ground before a design, a demolition, or a remediation gets locked in. Anco Environmental Services runs that work with company-owned drill rigs and geoprobe units, licensed LSRPs, and engineers who interpret the data in the context of NJDEP standards and the construction decisions that depend on it. Developers, industrial owners, and municipalities across New Jersey use our subsurface programs to reduce surprise and protect schedule.
What the Subsurface Program Covers
A typical program combines soil borings, direct-push sampling, monitoring well installation, and geophysics to build a full picture of site stratigraphy, groundwater behavior, and contaminant distribution. Borings capture split-spoon samples for both environmental and geotechnical analysis, giving blow counts for foundation design alongside material for contaminant analysis. Monitoring wells are installed, developed, and sampled to support long-term groundwater assessment under NJDEP remediation programs.
Geophysical tools are used to answer questions that drilling alone cannot. Ground-penetrating radar, electromagnetic surveys, and metal-detection methods locate buried tanks, drums, and utility conflicts before excavation. Aquifer testing and plume mapping define the extent of groundwater impacts so that remediation strategy matches reality rather than a desktop estimate.
Because the rig, the samplers, and the interpretation all come from the same team, data moves directly into remediation planning or engineering design without a rebid or a new mobilization. That integration is what lets a site move from investigation to decision faster than the typical consultant-plus-driller arrangement.
- Soil borings, geoprobe direct-push sampling, and split-spoon collection

- Geotechnical characterization for foundation and earthwork design
If your project needs subsurface data to support an NJDEP submission, a redevelopment design, or a construction schedule, an LSRP from our team can scope the right program and get the rig moving. Call (908) 201-4722 or contact us to plan the investigation.
