Drilling
Call on the team that has been setting industry standards since 1957.
Straub Corporation’s Drilling Program combines six decades of field experience with the latest hydrogeologic science to deliver clean, sustainable water on time and on budget.
What We Do Best
- Exploratory & Production Wells – From initial siting to final pump tests, we design and construct wells that maximize yield while protecting the aquifer.
- Aquifer Testing & Characterization – Our Hydrogeologists run step-rate, constant-rate, and recovery drawdown tests to determine transmissivity, storativity, and sustainable pumping rates.
- Water-Quality & Isotope Sampling – We collect surface and subsurface samples under strict QA/QC protocols, then use advanced isotope analysis to trace recharge sources and detect potential contamination.
- Turnkey Project Management – Permitting, drill supervision, casing, screen installation, and pump outfitting—handled end-to-end by one accountable team.
Why Straub Corporation?
- Proven Methodology – A proprietary drilling workflow refined over thousands of wells minimizes formation damage and speeds development.
- Versatile Rotary Rigs
Late-model air and mud rotary units handle the toughest formations with minimal disturbance.
- Environmental Stewardship – Low-impact access roads, closed-loop mud containment, and real-time groundwater monitoring protect fragile ecosystems.
- Data-Driven Decisions – Every well log, geophysical run, and lab result feeds into our GIS platform, giving clients a clear, actionable picture of their resources.
- Innovative Technologies - Decades in the environmental sector have driven us to design proprietary tools that streamline site evaluation and contaminant recovery. Ask our team how custom tech can shorten your project timeline.
