Aquifer Drilling & Testing, Inc.

What Aquifer Drilling & Testing, Inc. does

Aquifer Drilling & Testing, Inc. (ADT) is a privately held, regional drilling services contractor headquartered in Mineola, New York, and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cascade Environmental. Founded in 1989, ADT maintains approximately 49 employees and serves environmental consulting firms, geotechnical engineering firms, and construction/development clients across the greater New York City metropolitan area.

The company's core offering is environmental and geotechnical drilling and sampling, supported by a diversified drilling fleet spanning sonic, auger, rotary, direct push, and diamond coring methods. Service lines include environmental drilling and sampling, geotechnical drilling (including cathodic protection applications), utility clearance, and investigation derived waste handling. ADT is positioned within Cascade Environmental's broader platform alongside sister subsidiary TerraTherm, which provides thermal remediation technologies, allowing the combined entity to offer integrated drilling-and-remediation solutions to clients with contaminated or geotechnically complex sites. Pricing is project-based and quote-driven rather than publicly disclosed, reflecting the site-specific nature of drilling work.

ADT's go-to-market is largely inherited from its parent: customers are acquired through Cascade Environmental's corporate website via a "Request a Quote" mechanism, participation in industry events, and the parent company's broader sales force. Revenue mechanics are professional services in nature, with contracts typically scoped to multi-year environmental investigation or remediation programs rather than transactional per-job work. No public ticker, external investment, named customers, management team, or financial disclosures are evidenced in the input data.
