20 SEPTEMBER 2026 WorldWide Drilling Resource® 28 Years of Environmental Drilling Adapted from Information by Innovative Environmental Technologies, Inc. (IET) Many companies claim to have expertise in environmental drilling, bioremediation, chemical oxidation, and in-situ treatment. However, real, documented, field-proven experience is scarce to find. With nearly three decades of continuous operation, field execution, and technical innovation, IET is a prime example as to why it matters when selecting a contractor for complex subsurface remediation projects. In 1998, Innovative Environmental Technologies, Inc. was founded by Michael Scalzi with a clear mission: to be the most technically capable contractor for tackling complex in-situ remediation projects. At a time when general contractors lacking specialized expertise dominated the market, IET filled that critical gap. The company has always operated under the simple doctrine of never competing with the consulting firms they work with. Rather, IET would be known for their reliability to put the correct chemistry in the ground, operate complex delivery systems, and drill in conditions often avoided by other contractors. While most environmental drilling contractors own rigs, IET owns patents. That distinguishes them as a technology-driven contractor, not just a commodity service provider. The company holds 14 U.S. patents covering proprietary methods for closed-delivery systems, accelerated dechlorination, ferric iron-activated persulfate oxidation, organic electron donor substrates, controlled-release encapsulation, methane inhibition during reductive dechlorination, and heavy metal stabilization at complex mixed-contamination sites. Each patent represents a field-tested innovation that created better treatment outcome, reduced costs, and addressed real problems on difficult sites. With IET’s headquarters in Pipersville, Pennsylvania, and five other regional offices across the U.S. - they have more than 3000 remediation, and drilling projects across 40+ states, including Puerto Rico, and Canada under their belt, the company has a huge dataset of real-world site conditions, contaminant responses, treatment outcomes, and lessons learned that informed future designs. Their project history spans across chlorinated solvents, petroleum hydrocarbons, creosote, heavy metals, and complex mixed-contamination scenarios at dry cleaners, gas stations, manufacturing sites, military installations, and more.
