Tyrone, Georgia natives often assume that a geotechnical drilling rig is a standalone device something akin to the iconic oil drilling rigs that can be seen pumping away in oil wells in Texas and other areas of the American west. While there are some stand-alone drilling rigs in utilization for geotechnical drilling projects, these are…
Porters Ridge, Georgia natives probably think of construction projects when they think of geotechnical drilling and while many drilling projects are performed as part of a construction or repair project, there are many other types of projects that can benefit from geotechnical drilling, including municipal projects and other engineering projects. Whether you’re designing and engineering…
Kenwood, Georgia natives are a bit less prone to sinkholes when compared to residents further south in Florida, where the sandy soil and limestone bedrock make for geologic conditions that are more conducive to sinkhole formation. That said, it is possible to see a sinkhole form virtually anywhere in the country. So it’s natural to…
Fayetteville, Georgia natives may have heard the term “Vibracore sampling” or simply “Vibracoring.” This is a very unique type of geotechnical drilling. Fayetteville geotechnical drilling projects are less likely to involve this type of drilling, which is used for wetlands and various marine drilling sites. But a number of our Fayetteville clients are developers who…
Columbus Georgia natives often wonder about how deep you can drill with a geotechnical drilling project. Some may even be curious as to whether you can drill through the Earth’s crust. While human technology has not yet progressed to a point where we can penetrate the entire Earth’s crust, we can drill to some very…
Ashley Park natives often wonder about how deep you can drill into the ground as part of a project involving geotechnical drilling. Ashley Park drilling crews will consider a number of different factors when overseeing a drilling project, including the type of information and data that’s sought, the ground conditions at the location and the…
Union Park geotechnical drilling crews often receive questions concerning precisely what’s underground. In fact, most are unfamiliar with the different layers that comprise the ground beneath our feet. So let’s take a look at the earth’s layers, how they differ and what layer(s) you can expect to encounter while performing geotechnical drilling. Union Park natives…
Sky Lake geotechnical drilling clients frequently ask about what kinds of materials they’ll encounter during the drilling project. In Sky Lake and in many other regions of Florida and the southern United States, the bedrock is comprised of limestone, which has its benefits and its drawbacks. So what is limestone and what does it mean…
Pine Hill geotechnical drilling companies frequently work with engineers and engineering firms, performing a site investigation and gathering data on the engineers’ behalf. In fact, geotechnical drilling projects very frequently involve some degree of collaboration with an engineering firm. So in today’s article on geotechnical drilling, Pine Hills drilling experts will explore what engineers can…
Pine Castle geotechnical drilling clients are often curious about precisely what’s beneath their feet. In fact, most know relatively little about the geologic landscape that exists within such close proximity to our world. The soil that sits beneath our feet is divided into a number of layers called “horizons.” Each horizon is a distinct layer…
