The earth’s makeup — including rocks, minerals and fossils — has intrigued Deborah Weible since childhood. So while she did not decide to launch a drilling business until after graduate school, it makes for a great fit. “I love what I do every day,” she says.
The president and general manager of Geo-Environmental Drilling Company Inc., located in Pittsburgh, studied geology in college and was introduced to drilling projects while working for an engineering consulting firm as a geologist at the start of her professional career. For the past 26 years, Weible has led the company of around 10 employees, which specializes in environmental and geotechnical drilling in Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia. Services offered include soil boring and sampling, hazardous waste drilling, rock coring, monitoring well installation, geothermal drilling, well rehabilitation and cleaning, well abandonment, and pump testing.
