Drilling Activities

We provide unique solutions for what is often considered to be a very traditional discipline within Civil Engineering. We have invested heavily in the requisite machinery and experience.

Our drilling capabilities include:

  • Heavy duty dynamic sampling to 20m depth, to obtain near-undisturbed continuous samples of up to 112mm diameter, retained in a plastic liner .Rotary core drilling to 120m+ depth to obtain continuous rock cores of up to 112mm diameter, using a range of drilling flushes in vertical or angled holes.
  • In-situ sampling and testing to BS EN 1997- 2:2007standards, including Category A thin wall (70 and100mm) and piston sampling, SPTs and packer testing.
  • Hollow stem auger boring to 30m depth, forming holes of up to 300mm diameter and allowing the installation of standpipes of up to 150mm diameter.
  • Rotary percussive and open-hole drilling to over150m depth.
  • Installations and instrumentation: from simple standpipes and inclinometers to vibrating wire piezometers and extensometers.
