Geotechnical Drilling
Geotechnial Drilling
Geotechnical drilling is often needed to check the suitability of the ground before you can build.
This is especially important if the structure is on land or near the coast. Geotechnical borings are used to analyse the ground.
This involves taking rock and soil samples at representative heights below the desired foundation depth at various locations on the construction site. The borings and core samples are used to create a soil profile for the site. This profile helps to locate unstable rock, investigate soil conditions and determine the site’s integrity.
Site analysis is crucial for very large structures. Unsafe rock or soil conditions could lead to the collapse of the structure or a dangerous scenario in the event of an earthquake or flood.
Therefore, the law generally requires that the safety of a construction site be investigated before a building permit is granted and that continuous safety monitoring be carried out to identify any changes or signs of developing problems that could pose a risk to the construction project.

What Lies Beneath?
Ever wondered if your property has buried treasure in the form of minerals or even gemstones?
Geotechnical drilling is that it can search for mineral deposits and in some cases gas or oil can be found on some properties.
These are lucrative deposits, and discovering them on a property can help make the best decisions on how to develop the land profitably.
Material analysis is needed for both commercial and scientific exploration.
We are licensed and experienced drilling contractors have the skills and knowledge to meet all your Geo-technical drilling needs.
