Craig

What Craig does

Craig Test Boring Co., Inc. and Craig Geotechnical Drilling Co., Inc. (operating jointly as Craig Drilling Companies) are two privately held New Jersey corporations that deliver subsurface investigation and geotechnical instrumentation services to engineering firms, construction contractors, and government agencies across New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Delaware, with well-driller licensure extending into Massachusetts and Connecticut. Core offerings include soil borings and split-spoon sampling with calibrated SPT hammers, rock coring, observation and monitoring wells, Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) with continuous multi-parameter profiling, Geoprobe direct-push sampling (including the limited-access Geoprobe 7822DT), geotechnical instrumentation installation and monitoring (inclinometers, vibrating wire piezometers, extensometers, deep benchmarks), test pit excavation, and Ground Penetrating Radar delivered through a partnership with Precision GPR Services, LLC.

The technology base is a modern, diversified fleet of truck-, track-, and skid-mounted drill rigs (CME-45 Skid, CME-55LC Rubber Track, CME-75 Truck Mounted, CME-750 Rubber Tire, CME-850 Steel Track) supplemented by Geoprobe 7822DT, Geoprobe 2060CPT, and all-terrain CPT rigs. The custom-fitted Geoprobe 7822DT and the all-terrain CPT unit are noted differentiators, enabling work in low-clearance, narrow, or environmentally sensitive sites where standard rigs cannot operate. Service delivery is led by field supervisory staff with more than 50 years of combined experience and crews trained to OSHA HAZWOPER standards at Health & Safety Levels B, C, and D.

The business model is project-based, quote-priced B2B services sold via direct field-sales engagement with project managers and engineering departments in target accounts. Revenue is generated per project based on scope, depth, equipment, site accessibility, and complexity, with no public pricing or subscription layer. Customer concentration skews to public-sector transportation infrastructure (NJDOT, Port Authority of NY/NJ, NYC DOT, LaGuardia Airport), supplemented by engineering and environmental consulting firms. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, no funding rounds are reported, and the company appears locally and privately held with no institutional investors or parent entity identified in the available data.

Products and services

• Geotechnical Drilling & Sampling Subsurface exploration services including soil boring, split spoon sampling, rock coring, and observation well installation performed with calibrated SPT hammers and various diameter equipment for engineering and construction clients.
• Geotechnical Instrumentation Installation and monitoring of geotechnical instruments including inclinometers, vibrating wire piezometers, extensometers, and deep benchmarks for slope stability, dam monitoring, and construction monitoring applications.
• Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) CPT probes that provide continuous soil profiles with multiple testing parameters including tip resistance, sleeve friction, pore pressure, temperature, and inclination, deployed via all-terrain rig for subsurface investigation clients.
• Geoprobe/Direct Push Sampling Hydraulically-powered Geoprobe equipment for soil core and soil gas sampling, groundwater sampling, soil conductivity logging, and materials injection, including Geoprobe 7822DT configured for limited access areas such as sidewalks and height-restricted spaces.
• Ground Penetrating Radar Utility locating services provided through partnership with Precision GPR Services, LLC to locate and verify existing utilities combined with state One Call Locating Service, with additional GPR services available upon request.
• Test Pits Test pit excavation with rubber tire and track mounted excavators, including infiltration testing services for geotechnical site investigation.
• Equipment For Sale Sale of surplus drilling equipment including drill rigs and geotechnical tools as the company updates its fleet.

Quantifiable outcome

• CPT production rate is 2-3 times greater than SPT drilling, offering cost savings and faster project completion
