Different types of geotechnical drilling can only be performed safely and effectively when using the right type of equipment. In terms of services related to environmental drilling, Citronelle residents may not realize just how many different pieces of equipment may be necessary in order to get a specific job done, such as gaining access to a specific location.

The two main types of drilling equipment that are going to be swapped out depending on the task at hand are going to be the geotechnical drills themselves, as well as the rigs that they are attached to.

Many people are under the impressions that only one type of really powerful drill is needed to perform all tasks related to geotechnical or environmental drilling, but this is not true. Today, we will be going over some of the more popular pieces of equipment that are used by professionals on a regular basis.

Some of the Different Types of Drilling Rigs Used in Environmental Drilling

There seems to be just as many drilling rigs available to professionals at geotechnical drilling as there are drill bits themselves. This goes to show you just how important these drilling rigs can be to geotechnical drilling or environmental drilling. Citronelle residents might not know what are some of the differences from drilling rig to drilling rig, but they can be drastically different.

Most people think that drilling rigs are going to be very large, and they can be, but it is also important to have small, portable rigs for tight situations. These rigs are often called portable or modular rigs, and they are great in areas that are overgrown with vegetation, or in tight areas like some residential communities.

Another type of rig that is very popular with environmental drilling are geo-probe rigs. These are rigs that are used in geotechnical investigations and sample collection, which can be a common service related to environmental drilling.

Different Types of Drill Bits

Another very important tool that is essential to geotechnical drilling and environmental drilling are the various drill bits that are attached to drills. These drill bits are often chosen based on the type of sediment professionals are trying to drill into, or the type of geological conditions that are present.

When it comes to harder sediments and environmental drilling, Citronelle residents should know that diamond tipped drill bits are going to be the drill bit that gets through these materials, as diamond is one of the strongest materials on Earth.

For softer and more loose soils and sediments, such as sandy coastal areas, injection drill bits are important for keeping boring holes intact.

/in , /by

If you ask the average person where it is popular to see geotechnical drilling professionals working in and around their area, many people are going to say in urban areas such as a bustling city or community.

They wouldn’t be wrong, however, geotechnical drilling companies end up doing a lot more work for our community than most people realize. For starters, not everyone is aware that geotechnical drilling companies end up working in residential areas to help homeowners gain access to a specific location.

When it comes to residential geotechnical drilling, Citronelle residents might not know how to better prepare to have professionals working around their home and property. Most people want to be as helpful as possible, and today we will be going over some of the things that homeowners should keep in mind that can end up going a long way in helping the geotechnical drilling professionals while they are working.

Go Into Detail with Professionals of What Type of Work Needs to be Done

There are in fact many different types of services that can be done in a residential area as there would be when working in a commercial one performing some form of geotechnical drilling. Citronelle homeowners may need a sinkhole investigation performed, soil and sample collection, foundational drilling, and many other types of services.

Regardless of the service a homeowner is in need of, it is very important that a homeowner talks to geotechnical drilling professionals about their problems or what they would like to see done on their property.

Communication is a very important part of any process that is very technical or requires the use of heavy machinery.

Understanding Spacing Issues for Geotechnical Drilling Professionals

Because there is not a lot of work that homeowners themselves can do when needing services related to geotechnical drilling, Citronelle residents might be under the impression that there is really nothing that they can do that would help professionals out.

While this may be true to some extent, it is very important that homeowners create a safe and clutter free work environment for professionals to work in. This does not have to be some intensive process, but make sure that there are no items lying around the areas that geotechnical drilling professionals are going to be working in.

If a homeowner has small children or animals at home, it is very important to keep them inside and away from the work that geotechnical drilling professionals are doing.
