Welcome

Geo Environmental Drilling Ltd

• Windowless sampling (soil samples are recovered in plastic liners) up to 10 metres depth can be achieved using a tracked Dart/Competitor style rig. Depths of 18 metres have been achieved in favourable ground conditions.
• Dynamic probing up to 20 metres deep to BS1377:1990
• Extra large (128mm) casing available for use of U100 sampler
• U38 sampling and Shelby tube sampling for lab geotechnical testing
• SPT’s (Soil penetration testing using open drive shoe) & SPT(C) (Solid Cone) for sand/gravel strata
• Concrete coring off the rig for drilling on hard standing (3 inch to 8 inch diameter)
• Water/gas well installations for long term monitoring (19mm to 63mm diameter pipe available)
• NVQ Level 2 Drillers experienced in logging to BS5930 and Eurocode 7

• Hand Held sampling for low head room or confined areas where access for the tracked rig is not possible using a hydraulic hammer to drive the samples into the strata
• Available with both petrol and diesel power packs
• Window and windowless (liner) sampling are both available with the hand held equipment
• Hand held diamond drilling unit (3inch to 10 inch diameter), which is hydraulically powered and useful for determining thickness and make up of walls (horizontal) or vertically, where sites require a lot of shallow cores before drilling
• Hand dug pits for exposing foundations, utilities
• Hydraulic breaker hire (petrol/diesel)
• Hand Augering. The age old but often effective and rapid method for gaining samples in restricted access areas
• Installation of monitoring wells (19mm to 42mm available)
• SVS Surveys (soil vapour surveys) to determine gas presence before drilling on Petroleum service stations etc
• NVQ Level 2 Drillers experienced in logging to BS5930 and Eurocode 7

• The front end/mast of the window sampling rig, with equal capabilities, including cased boreholes, SPT, SPT(C), dynamic probing and liner sampling
• Installation of monitoring wells (19mm to 63mm available)
• NVQ Level 2 Drillers experienced in logging to BS5930 and Eurocode 7

• Stand alone diamond coring unit (hydralically powered) for holes up to 350mm diameter & to a depth of 2.50m +
• Electric powered dry coring rig (for proving wall thickness and make up)
• Diamond sawing (hydraulic or petrol powered) for cutting through floors and walls
• Hydraulic concrete chainsawing
