Test Pit Digging Services

Wells Geotech provides test pit digging services to support geotechnical and environmental investigations by allowing direct visual observation of subsurface conditions. Test pits are an effective method for evaluating soil stratification, identifying fill materials, locating utilities, and assessing groundwater conditions near the surface.

This approach is commonly used during early project planning and site assessments, offering immediate insight into subsurface characteristics that may not be fully captured through drilling alone. Test pit digging allows engineers and environmental professionals to visually confirm soil types, material consistency, and potential obstructions, helping guide design and construction decisions.

Applications Include:

  • Visual soil classification and stratification

  • Identification of fill, debris, and obstructions

  • Utility location and verification

  • Shallow groundwater observation

  • Support for geotechnical and environmental evaluations
