Cable Percussion Drilling Rigs:
In-situ soil testing and sampling, mainly 6 to 8 inch diameter to depths of 30m. Installation of groundwater and gas monitoring wells and inclinometers.
Terrier Rigs:
Dynamic probing to 25m. Windowless sampling to 10m. Capable of casing up to 105mm diameter. Able to perform insitu standard penetration tests.
Dynamic Probing Rigs:
Standard dynamic probing to depths up to 25m. Drive-in window sample cores (lined and unlined) to depths up to 7m. Capable of installing up to 50mm diameter piezometers and slip indicators. 100m of probing and 25m window sampling a day is typical, depending on ground conditions. Ideal for restricted access and sensitive sites.
Static Cone Penetrometer Testing:
Rapid, near continuous soil profile determination to depths up to 40m. Immediate results. Specialist testing including pore water pressures, pressuremeter testing, contamination assessment and seismic surveys possible.
Rotary Drilling:
Drilling through rock and hard soils to any depth. In-situ testing and sampling: Various core barrel diameters available. Piezometer and inclinometer installations.
In-Situ California Bearing Ratio (CBR Testing):
Rapid sub-grade assessment for pavement design, typically 8 to 10 tests per day. Landrover mounted apparatus, rapid mobilisation.
Concrete Coring:
Core up to 8 inch diameter holes.
Rotary Drilling and Hollow Stem Augering:
Drilling through rock and hard soils to any depth using our new Beretta T41 hydraulic rig.
