At Challenge Testing, no two job sites are ever the same. From dense forests to open water, rocky cliffs to shifting sands, our team has seen it all. With offices in Mobile, AL; Tuscaloosa, AL; and Saipan, CNMI, we operate in diverse environments across the U.S. and worldwide. Whether we’re drilling along the Gulf Coast or performing NDT on a facility in Guam, we pride ourselves on adapting to any terrain challenge that comes our way.
Adapting to the Environment
Challenge Testing operates in some of the most demanding conditions, from the industrial hubs of Mobile, AL, and Tuscaloosa, to the remote landscapes of Saipan and Guam. Each location presents its own set of obstacles, requiring ingenuity, specialized equipment, and a team willing to adapt on the fly.
- Marine & Coastal Projects – Working in active ship channels and ports requires meticulous planning and execution. Our team utilizes floating platforms, barges, and specialized marine drilling rigs to conduct sediment sampling and foundation analysis without disrupting operations.
- Mountainous & Rocky Terrain – Steep slopes and uneven landscapes call for mobile drilling setups that can withstand rugged conditions.
- Swamp & Wetlands – Soft, waterlogged ground presents a major challenge for traditional drilling rigs. By using specialized equipment, we ensure our crews can safely and effectively extract samples without excessive site disturbance.
- Urban & Industrial Zones – Tight spaces and active worksites demand precision. Our team leverages compact drilling units and advanced geotechnical software to perform detailed analyses without interrupting surrounding operations.
Expertise That Gets the Job Done
Our team of geotechnical drillers and NDT technicians are trained to handle extreme conditions while maintaining safety and efficiency. Whether navigating confined spaces, working at heights, or ensuring minimal environmental impact, our crew brings decades of experience to the field.
Why It Matters
Accurate testing and data collection are crucial for the success of large-scale infrastructure projects.
