GEOTECHNICAL DRILLING
Providing Everything You Need
Our team of licensed and skilled technicians can provide a variety of geotechnical services for site investigations. Whether you need soil and rock samplings or an evaluation of ground conditions, we use a variety of specialized machinery for any job size.
Geotechnical drilling is a type of drilling that’s performed as part of the construction process. This is mainly carried out for structures such as buildings, bridges, cell phone towers, roads, etc. Soil and bedrock samples are retrieved using various drilling techniques to test for stability, density and other factors that may influence the construction process.
STANDARD PENETRATION TEST (SPT)
The split spoons are pounded into the native soil using a hydraulically driven 140lbs hammer with a 30” free fall. The clients count how many times the hammer hits, in 6” intervals, up to 2 feet. The soil is collected for analysis and the drilling continues until the target depth is reached.
CONE PENETRATION TESTING
We’re now offering CPT services! We have teamed up with DownUnder Geotechnical to offer a full service CPT drilling experience.
What is CPT drilling?
Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) is a geotechnical engineering method that involves pushing a cone penetrometer into the ground. The cone is pushed at a steady rate so it can interpret the soil’s strength and resistance, deformation characteristics, and suitability for construction. CPT drilling allows for minimal disturbance to the site and it very effective and accurate in it’s soil assessments.
