Soil Boring & Subsurface Investigation Services on Long Island
Understanding what’s below the surface is critical before construction, redevelopment, or environmental remediation begins. Soil borings provide the most accurate picture of subsurface conditions, helping identify contamination, soil composition, groundwater depth, and potential risks that surface sampling alone cannot detect.
Enviroscience Consultants provides certified soil boring and subsurface investigation services across Long Island, supporting environmental due diligence, regulatory compliance, and informed project planning throughout Nassau and Suffolk Counties.
Our Soil Boring Services
We offer a complete suite of soil analysis services for commercial, residential, and industrial clients throughout Long Island
-
Environmental Soil Borings
Targeted borings to identify petroleum, VOCs, metals, pesticides, PAHs, and other contaminants associated with historic land use.
-
Phase II ESA Support
Subsurface investigations aligned with Phase II Environmental Site Assessment requirements, including sampling plans, field execution, and reporting.
-
Soil Characterization (Part 360 / 375)
Borings to characterize excavated soil for proper handling, reuse, or disposal in compliance with New York State regulations.
-
Groundwater Evaluation
Identification of groundwater depth and conditions that may influence contamination migration or construction design.
-
Construction & Redevelopment Support
Borings to inform excavation planning, foundation design coordination, and environmental risk management for Long Island projects.
What is Soil Boring?
Soil borings involve drilling into the ground to collect soil samples at specific depths. These samples are analyzed to determine:
- Soil composition and stratification
- Presence and depth of contamination
- Groundwater elevation and migration pathways
- Suitability for construction or redevelopment
- Regulatory and disposal requirements
Soil borings are commonly required for Phase II Environmental Site Assessments, spill investigations, redevelopment projects, and construction planning.
What We Commonly Find During Soil Borings
Contaminated or unstable soil can halt Petroleum-impacted soils from historic tanks
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
Heavy metals and pesticides
PAHs and ash fill
Buried construction debris
Elevated or unexpected groundwater
Radon-prone subsurface zones
Identifying these conditions early allows projects to move forward safely and efficiently.
When Soil Borings Are Needed
Soil borings are recommended when:
- A Phase I ESA identifies potential environmental concerns
- Contamination is suspected below the surface
- Redevelopment or excavation is planned
- Petroleum tanks or historic spills are present
- Soil disposal or NYSDEC Part 360/375 characterization is required
- Radon-in-soil risk needs to be evaluated before construction
Early subsurface investigation helps prevent costly delays, regulatory issues, and unexpected remediation.
