Company Information



Statement of Qualifications

Talon Drilling Company was formed in January 1999 as an Environmental and Geotechnical Drilling Company. The Company was formed to provide quality drilling services to engineering and environmental consulting firms. Talon drillers have conducted subsurface investigations for environmental engineering firms in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, New York and Virginia.

Talon's environmental drilling experience includes monitoring well installations, following the most stringent guidelines, as specified by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Delaware DNREC, and Maryland Department of Environmental Protection.

Talon's drillers are experienced in monitoring well installation using the hollow stem auger, mud rotary (single-, double- and triple-cased wells), and air percussion rotary drilling methods. Their experience includes rock coring (NQ and HQ), use of the Odex casing underreaming in difficult drilling conditions. In addition, Talon crews are experienced in installing, packer testing, and testing and refurbishing monitoring and production water wells, and drilling test borings for sampling of soils and ground water. They are also experienced in conducting geothechnical investigations for consulting engineering firms throughout Talon's service area. Talon drillers and assistants have
completed forty (40) hour OSHA CFR 1910.120 training followed by eight (8) hour annual updates and maintain Commercial Driver License (CDL) certification.

Talon's President holds M.S. and Ph.D. Degrees in Geology and has 25 years of varied experience in environmental consulting.

Representative Drilling Projects

1. Elkton, Maryland. Talon Drilling Company installed six double cased wells to depths of 360 feet below ground surface using air rotary drilling methods. These monitoring wells were installed to assist our client in monitoring ground water conditions and water quality at depth on this
property which appears on the US EPA's National Priorities List. Talon worked with its client to facilitate site access through procurement and placement of road material for temporary access roads. Talon also worked with the client to perform packer tests to provide information regarding ground water flow beneath the property.

2. Hatfield, P A. Talon Drilling Company installed a ground water monitoring well to a depth of 700 feet below ground surface (BGS) at this industrial facility using air rotary drilling methods. This well was installed to provide additional information regarding deep hydrogeologic conditions beneath the property in response to a request for additional information from a regulatory agency. The well was developed after installation and purge water was transported to an on-site treatment facility. The new well may be utilized as a recovery well in the future. Talon Drilling Company had earlier installed several shallower wells on the property to aid the client in delineating hydrogeologic conditions and to define water quality at depths ranging from approximately 200 to 400 feet BGS.

3. Franklin, New Jersey. Talon Drilling Company installed three 2-inch diameter PVC monitoring wells to depths of approximately 80 feet below ground surface using the mud rotary drilling method. The wells were installed in an area where subsurface rock condition and drilling were difficult to allow definition of hydrogeologic conditions and water quality at this former commercial property.

4. Sinking Springs, Pennsylvania. Talon Drilling Company
installed four 4-inch diameter open-hole bedrock ground water monitoring
wells utilizing the air rotary drilling method. The monitoring wells were
installed for a Talon client to investigate ground water conditions on this
property in southeastern, Pennsylvania.

5. Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Talon Drilling Company installed nine 2-inch diameter PVC monitoring wells using hollow stem auger and air rotary drilling methods. These wells were installed by Talon so that our client could further delineate the hydrogeologic conditions and ground water quality beneath this property where monitoring wells had previously been installed.

6. Somerville, New Jersey. Talon Drilling Company installed five 4-inch diameter PVC monitoring wells to depths of approximately 25 feet each utilizing the hollow stem auger drilling method. These shallow ground water monitoring wells were installed by Talon to aid its client in initially defining hydrogeologic conditions and water quality beneath this former industrial property.

7. Williamstown, New Jersey. Talon Drilling Company installed twenty-four 4-inch diameter air sparge wells to a depth of 30 feet below ground surface to be used for soil vapor extraction. The sparge wells were installed using the air rotary drilling method. The wells are to be used to aid in removal of volatile organic chemicals from ground water.

8. Chester County, Pennsylvania. Talon Drilling Company installed five 2- and 4-inch diameter PVC monitoring wells to a depth of 25 feet below ground surface using the hollow stem auger drilling method. Prior to installation of the monitoring wells, Talon provided two days of Geoprobe
services collecting soil samples to determine the nature of subsurface soil conditions and to identify optimum locations and screen depths for monitoring wells on this industrial property. Direct-push sampling methods were utilized to collect representative soil samples from the shallow subsurface.

9. Greenbelt, Maryland. Talon Drilling Company installed three borings in Coastal Plain sediments to depths of approximately 375 feet using mud rotary drilling techniques. Talon assisted in grouting grounding rods for microwave transmission towers in the borings using a special conductive grout to cement the grounding rods in place.
