Geotechnical drill rigs are specialized equipment for the rigorous demands of construction and geological projects. These rigs play a key role in geotechnical investigation, providing the capability to assess ground conditions.
[pdf] Depending on water depth and metocean conditions, geotechnical surveys may be conducted from a dedicated geotechnical drillship, a semi-submersible, a jackup rig, a large hovercraft or other means. [24] They are done at a series of specific locations, while the vessel maintains a constant position.
[pdf] PVC or steel casings are commonly used for sandy soil due to their strength and resistance to corrosion. Selecting the right drilling equipment is critical for success. For sandy soil, you may opt for a portable drilling rig that can efficiently penetrate the sand layer.
