What is the purpose of a rig site survey?

Rig site surveys identify seabed and subsurface hazards to drilling, such as wrecks and the presence of shallow gas.

What drilling rigs do soil surveys use?

Soil Surveys fleet is rounded out with our smaller Jacro 105 and EVH 1750 drilling rig. These lightweight rigs are capable of solid flight auger drilling to depths of up to 6m and use DCP testing to help provide a subsurface strength assessment.

What is a Geoprobe ® geotechnical drilling rig?

Complete your geotechnical investigation faster, easier, and safer when using a Geoprobe ® geotechnical drilling rig. The low impact and maneuverability of the geotechnical drilling rigs allow for free movement on geotechnical investigation sites with limited access, such as next to foundations, inside buildings, or under power lines.

Are geotechnical drilling rigs a good idea?

The low impact and maneuverability of the geotechnical drilling rigs allow for free movement on geotechnical investigation sites with limited access, such as next to foundations, inside buildings, or under power lines. But don’t be fooled by the small footprint.

Why should you use a geotechnical rig?

But don’t be fooled by the small footprint. These rigs pack the pull and push power necessary to complete your geotechnical investigations for roadways, buildings, tunnels, and levees while also providing the control to fine tune your geotechnical soil testing.

What makes a good geotechnical investigation?

Make your geotechnical investigation quick and efficient with quality components like the automatic drop hammer and combo head along with tooling systems like the interlocking split spoon. With enough engineering to keep drillers out of harms way, fewer moving parts and loads of tooling storage make your geotechnical investigation safer.
