Drilling Boreholes

Our Drilling Teams are trained to the highest standards to form boreholes for sampling, testing and monitoring of all types of ground for geotechnical and geo-environmental assessment. We are committed to innovation in drilling techniques and this is evident in the range and versatility of our rigs.  We employ some 20 teams of drillers on a full-time salaried basis, and are able to offer:

All drilling crews are CITB registered and undertake ongoing training to become NVQ qualified in Land Drilling.
