Our Core Drilling Capabilities

We utilize a versatile fleet of rigs to navigate the specific challenges of Edinburgh’s terrain:

  • Window Sampling & Windowless Sampling: Ideal for sites with restricted access or where shallow soil profiles are required for environmental and geotechnical testing.

  • Cable Percussive (Shell & Auger) Drilling: The industry standard for deep boreholes in cohesive soils, allowing for high-quality undisturbed samples and Standard Penetration Testing (SPT).

  • Rotary Drilling (Coring & Open Hole): Essential for Edinburgh’s harder strata, such as the Salisbury Crags volcanic formations. This method provides detailed rock cores for structural analysis.

  • Dynamic Probing: A rapid method to determine the relative density of sub-soils and locate the depth of the bedrock head.
