SONIC SOIL SAMPLING INC.

Sonic Soil Sampling Inc. is a limited Canadian company, incorporated in August, 1981, with its head office in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Since then we have moved to larger facilities in Concord, Ontario to consolidate our office, testing and storage facilities.

Sonic's primary objective is to provide a cost-effective, environmental drilling service. This goal is achieved by utilizing innovative and portable equipment, as well as a professional staff, to perform a variety of tasks including sample collection and the installation of monitoring wells. Working with the environmental sector we have completed programs in sensitive areas that could not be accessed by conventional drilling equipment, including First Nation Reserves and Canadian Air Force Bases. We also have conducted numerous sampling programs for the industrial and mining sectors throughout the western world.

Our crews use the Pionjar 120 Drill and Electrical Drilling Units with standard 2" split-spoon samplers to drill inside factories, alongside busy streets and highways, on lagoons and tailings ponds, and at mines and remote sites. Our crews can also be equipped with a Portable Auger Unit capable of using 6 and 8 inch hollow stem augers for installing 2" monitor wells for groundwater inside and outside buildings. We also provide portable geotechnical testing equipment for SPT and for soil load profiles. In addition, all of our crews use electrical concrete coring machines with diamond bits for concrete coring and road testing.

Drilling services in Canada are covered by a 5 Million Dollar General Liability insurance policy at all work sites. In addition, the company has a comprehensive Pollution Insurance Policy and our staff is provided with up-to-date Workers Compensation coverages.
