Expert Drilling Services in Edinburgh: Clyde Ground Investigation
When it comes to the complex geological landscape of Scotland’s capital, Clyde Ground Investigation provides the precision and technical expertise required for high-quality drilling services. Edinburgh’s unique mix of volcanic rock, glacial till, and historical urban infill demands a tailored approach to site investigation. Whether you are planning a large-scale commercial development or a residential extension, our drilling services ensure you have the data needed to build with confidence.
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.
