One Way to Safely Identify Utility Lines and Tree Roots

Certain work sites pose problems when it comes to identifying utility lines or tree roots that could possibly hinder EFS work or put EFS employees in danger. To help with these issues, EFS uses a technique called air knifing, or soft digging. In this technique, we use compressed air that flows through a nozzle and crumbles the dirt. By working in this way, we can safely identify utility lines or tree roots, without damaging either one of them and keeping everyone safe in the process. To see this process in action, watch this video from Bloodhound Utility Locators.

Drilling, Drilling, Drilling

Should I say it again……  drilling, drilling, drilling. This is one of the primary service areas offered by Environmental Field Services, Inc. (EFS). Earlier this year, EFS completed a record drilling project for our organization. And then lo and behold, several weeks after completing this project, we have been awarded another large drilling project that will have twice as many wells. Suffice it to say we are having a good drilling year. And why do clients like us? We do good work, meet the deadlines, and safety is a cornerstone of our projects.
