Hamilton has more industrial history in the ground than almost anywhere else in Ontario. The bayfront and north end carry a century of heavy manufacturing, while development pushes outward through Stoney Creek, Ancaster and the airport employment lands above the escarpment. Both settings need drilling crews who understand what they are likely to encounter.
Terra Firma Environmental Services Ltd provides environmental and geotechnical drilling in Hamilton for consultants, developers, industrial owners and contractors. We advance boreholes, install monitoring wells, sample soil and groundwater, and deliver remediation and earthmoving where contamination has to be dealt with.
Brownfield redevelopment in Hamilton often runs toward a Record of Site Condition. We plan and document our fieldwork with that end point in mind.

Harbour-side lands include decades of imported and slag fill, which changes both drilling method and health and safety controls.
Access above and below the escarpment differs sharply, and slope stability work needs careful rig placement.
Former manufacturing parcels commonly need denser sampling and more careful cross-contamination control.
We mobilise across the whole city and the surrounding municipalities, including:
Efficient drilling projects follow a structured workflow that minimizes risk and ensures regulatory compliance.
