What Enviro-Drill does
Enviro-Drill is a privately held U.S. drilling services firm founded in 1957 and headquartered in Phoenix, providing geotechnical, environmental, and monitoring well drilling to enterprise and government clients across North America. The business now sits within the Certerra Subsurface platform (affiliated with RMA Companies), which markets the firm's services under a unified brand alongside a Certerra-wide M&A partnership program.
The company's offering goes well beyond straight drilling. It markets an integrated subsurface investigation portfolio that pairs non-invasive geophysical characterization (Ground Penetrating Radar, Electrical Resistivity, Induced Polarization, Electromagnetic Induction, Magnetotellurics, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Seismic Refraction and Reflection, MASW, Magnetic and Gravity Surveys) with physical drilling methods (Auger, Rotary, Hammer, Core, Direct Push), utility investigation services (CCTV inspection, potholing/vacuum excavation, buried pipe and cable location, underground storage tank locating, utility clearance), leak detection in geomembranes and containment systems, plus dedicated mining, environmental monitoring, infrastructure integrity, and dam characterization service lines. This combination is positioned to reduce subsurface uncertainty before excavation, optimize mining recovery, support environmental compliance, and protect high-hazard dams.
Enviro-Drill generates revenue as a project-based professional services firm; pricing is per-project quote rather than publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales, supported by a phone inquiry line, a website quote-request form, content marketing (case studies, blog, SEO-optimized service and method pages), and LinkedIn presence through the RMA Companies parent. Primary customer segments are geotechnical engineering, mining operations, environmental services, and dam/water infrastructure, with named engagements including City of Hope, an unnamed high-hazard dam, and Carlotta Mine Arizona.

Enviro-Drill competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Terracon: National geotechnical, environmental, materials, and facilities engineering firm providing drilling, geophysics, and environmental site assessment. Competes head-to-head with Enviro-Drill in geotechnical and environmental drilling across US regions.
- Cascade Environmental: Specialty subsurface services firm offering drilling, geophysics, and utility locating to environmental and infrastructure clients. Closely comparable niche player competing in similar US regional and project-based contracts.
- Barr Engineering: Engineering and environmental consulting firm offering geotechnical, mining, water resources, and environmental services with significant drilling and subsurface investigation capabilities. Closely comparable in mid-sized mining, infrastructure, and environmental projects.
- Haley & Aldrich: Geotechnical and environmental consulting firm offering subsurface investigation, drilling, and instrumentation for infrastructure, dam, and industrial clients. Strongly comparable to Enviro-Drill in dam characterization, environmental monitoring, and geotechnical service lines.
- Kleinfelder: US-based engineering, geotechnical, environmental, and construction services firm with a comparable mix of subsurface investigation, drilling, and utility locating services to support infrastructure, mining, and environmental clients. Directly overlaps on geotechnical drilling and environmental site characterization.
Broad incumbents
- AECOM: Global infrastructure consulting firm with environmental, geotechnical, and water practices covering dam safety, mining, and environmental remediation. Competes on large enterprise and government programs that pull scope away from specialty drillers.
- WSP: Global professional services firm with earth and environment practices (including legacy Golder) that perform mining, geotechnical, and environmental subsurface services. Competes for large multi-disciplinary contracts across North America.
- GHD: Global engineering, environmental, and construction services firm with subsurface investigation, geotechnical, and mining service lines. Increasingly competing in the US market against specialty North American subsurface firms.
- Tetra Tech: Large global consulting and engineering firm with deep environmental, water, and geotechnical practices including drilling and subsurface characterization. A broad incumbent that competes on larger integrated bids where Enviro-Drill would be a subcontractor.
- Stantec: International engineering, environmental, and geosciences firm with subsurface investigation, environmental site assessment, and dam/geotechnical practices. Represents scale competition on enterprise and government pursuits.
