Field Application
Once a new sonic driller has completed their first week of training with our team in Marietta, Ohio they are ready to start producing in the field. They will be coached by one of our Master Sonic Driller Trainers who will work with them on various sonic drilling methods and techniques as they apply to the scope of work being performed.
