Site Investigation

We offer specialist site investigation and foundation testing expertise. Our unique Vetrak® rig allows us to work in difficult access areas as it is only 780mm wide. You can view the Vetrak® movie here or you can watch the movie of geotechnical services case studies here.

Services include:

• Cable percussion
• Rotary open hole/coring
• Window sampling
• CBRS
• Plate bearings
• Static testing
• Gas monitoring
• Noise & vibration monitoring
• Laboratory testing
• Factual reporting

Obtaining quality data on both small and large projects is attainable due to our fleet of rigs and experienced operatives.

Our Vetrak® rig offers access capabilities of a window sampling rig with the drilling capability of a cable percussion rig. We also operate cable percussion, rotary and window sampling rigs. You can see technical datasheets on our rigs here.

The drilling techniques we use enable us to establish numerous geotechnical parameters for foundation design, pavement design, soakaways, shallow mine workings, slope stability, ground water levels and excavations. Working closely with environmental engineers means we also have a wealth of experience in environmental soil sampling, well installations and gas & ground water monitoring.

Using state of the art equipment we can provide a full range of specialist foundation testing options including dynamic load testing (CAPWAP), static load testing, pile integrity testing and noise & vibration monitoring.

We are members of the British Drilling Association and our drillers are trained to NVQ Level 2 in land drilling.

We are so confident of our service that if we win the site investigation and then carry out the piling and foundation package we’ll guarantee our quotation against any extra costs. Please ask us for terms and conditions.
