Precision Drilling Sawgrass Why is Being Precise for Drilling Services so Important?

/in , /by

Geotechnical drilling services in residential and commercial areas can be very important for both industry and individuals. It can be just as important as construction companies who are going to be building new structures and infrastructure systems.

Geotechnical drilling is not simply one task however, and it can encompass many different services that are all unique but help people out equally. One of these services that falls into the larger category of geotechnical drilling is known as precision drilling. Sawgrass residents might be under the impression that being precise is not that important to drilling tasks, but this is not true.

Being off a few inches or a few feet can be drastically important, and can completely affect any future drilling efforts or construction that may happen. Here we will discuss some of the reasons why precision can be so important to specific drilling endeavors.

Not Having Accurate Sample Collection and Survey Information

If a geotechnical drilling company is not careful when they are out on location performing a specific type of drilling like precision drilling, Sawgrass residents should know it is relatively easy for things to get messed up from lack of information about the site.

This is why taking samples or performing an in depth geotechnical survey is very important. Without having a good idea of what is lying below the surface at a specific location, many problems can happen that can cause professionals to be drilling in the wrong location that best suits them or the service they are trying to provide.

Taking a core sample can help drilling professionals figure out what the best equipment would be to make their job the most efficient, as well as being as precise as possible.

Getting False Information From Imprecise Drilling

Taking a sample or performing a geological survey is important because without it, it can cause issues where a geotechnical drilling professional does not find a problem they are trying to source.

This can be an issue when performing such services such as sinkhole investigations. If a sample is not taken with precision, it can cause drilling professionals to believe there is no active sinkhole on a specific piece of property, when there very well can be.

When it comes to precision drilling, Sawgrass residents should know that professionals need to take extra care in picking a good location to take a sample or survey of, otherwise it can cause situations where false information leads to drilling services that are ineffective or do not solve the problem at hand.

Foundation Drilling Sawgrass How Long Does it Take Professionals to Perform Foundational Drilling?

/in , /by

Most of the services that are done by a professional geotechnical drilling company are essential to ensure that a building or another type of structure will be safe and last for many years without the risk of coming down.

One of these essential services that is often needed in every instance when a new structure is going to be built is known as foundation drilling. Sawgrass residents might be aware of this service. This is the process of drilling boring holes on a specific piece of land for a new structure to be built in the future.

This is something that needs to be done before construction is started, and it can hold up construction companies in which geotechnical drilling companies run into problems or have a lot of work on their hands. This leads some people to ask, how long will it take for a company to perform foundational drilling?

Understanding the Geological Conditions of a Building Site

Although this can happen, it is never recommended that a construction company or drilling company do any type of work until they know what geological conditions are like at a specific location.

There are many issues that can happen which can stop or slow the process of construction and drilling, and this includes preliminary services such as foundation drilling. Sawgrass residents should know that different geological conditions can affect how a drilling company should go about performing their tasks.

This can be something such as selecting the right drilling equipment, to something more complex such as how the foundation of a building should be constructed based on the geological conditions. A geological survey or sample collection is often performed before foundation drilling is started, which can be a lengthy process.

The Size of a Foundation Affects Drilling Times

Knowing what is lying in the ground at a specific location is something that may not be common knowledge that can affect drilling times. Yet one aspect of foundation drilling that is more obvious to the timeframe of a specific task is how large the foundation of a new structure will be.

When it comes to foundation drilling, Sawgrass residents can easily understand how larger structures with a bigger foundation are going to take more time for professionals to complete than a smaller structure.

This is also true if a structure is going to be heavier, such as a large commercial building such as a warehouse or a skyscraper.

Drilling Sawgrass Methods of Environmental Drilling

/in , /by

Drilling into different types of soils and sediments is not as easy as some people make it out to be. A lot of people are under the impression that drilling into the ground is not hard with modern drilling equipment, which is true to an extent.

When it comes to geotechnical drilling, Sawgrass residents should be made aware that modern drilling equipment is only effective when it is paired with the right method that is done out on location. This could be an undeveloped or rural area, or it can be an urban place or construction site.

But what are some of these methods that are utilized by a professional drilling company? Here we will discuss some of the methods that are involved with the environmental drilling process that may be essential depending on the task at hand or the characteristics of the location in which drilling is being performed.

Investigations and Sample Collection

One of the more important methods involved in the environmental drilling process is geotechnical investigations, which may or may not count on samples that need to be collected and analyzed. 

When it comes to being effective at any service that falls under geotechnical drilling, Sawgrass residents should be made aware that knowing what lies at a specific location can drastically affect how efficient and accurate drilling will be.

In the state of Florida, it is very common to find sinkholes underground that have not yet broken the surface, so many times people do not even know there is one present at a specific location. This is something that can be learned from a geotechnical investigation that should be performed any time drilling professionals are working in a new area.

Rotary Drilling Methods

Specific equipment needs to be considered depending on the service that geotechnical drilling companies are trying to perform, and the soil and sediment conditions of a specific location. In the example of sample collection or geotechnical investigations when performing environmental drilling, Sawgrass residents should be made aware that a hollow stem auger might be used in order to capture a section of dirt and bring it to the surface.

Another common drilling method involves the use of a rotary drill bit. This piece of drilling equipment is commonly used to make boring holes for services such as foundational drilling for the construction of new structures.

Difficult Access Drilling Sawgrass What Do Drilling Professionals Do When They are Faced With Difficult Access?

/in , /by

Geotechnical drilling affects more people and industries than many people realize. Some people assume that geotechnical drilling is involved with resource collection such as minerals, ores, and hydrocarbons, but this is not true.

Another thing about drilling that people assume is that it is very easy to perform in any conditions in any location with the right equipment, but this is also not true. In fact, there is an issue that geotechnical drilling companies face called Difficult Access Drilling. Sawgrass residents should know that most difficult to access locations and jobs can still be done with the right equipment and techniques in most cases.

Here we will discuss some of the aspects of drilling that professionals can work on that would help them have better success when drilling in a location that is difficult to access.

Using the Right Pieces of Equipment Based on Soil and Sediment Conditions

There are a lot of pieces of equipment that a professional drilling company will have. This will convert most types of soil and sediment conditions they may encounter, or what the reason is for them to be performing a specific type of drilling.

When it comes to an instance of difficult access drilling, Sawgrass residents should be made aware that one of the best things that drilling professionals can do is use the right equipment to get the job done.

Conversely, if a professional drilling company does not use the right equipment when faced with difficult drilling conditions, it can cause their work to take much longer than anticipated, and in some instances, cause the drilling work to not be completed.

Waiting for The Right Weather and Environmental conditions for Peak Drilling performance

Another important factor that drilling professionals needs to consider that can create instances of difficult access drilling, Sawgrass professionals will have to monitor weather and environmental conditions to see when it would be easier for them to perform drilling tasks.

Drilling can be done in light rain for example, but it will be much harder when there is a significant storm going over the specific area that they are working in. This is even more true when too much water has seeped into the ground of the area they are drilling in.

Many people think that drilling in water will be easy because it can easily be moved, but this is far from the truth. This is why some geotechnical drilling professionals will wait for the right time to go out to a location that is difficult to access from environmental and weather conditions.

Marine Drilling Sawgrass Marine Drilling Through Marshlands

/in , /by

Florida has an environment that is not like many other places on Earth. It consists of many sandy flatlands that are somehow saturated with water. Even if the land is dry, there is a ton of moisture in the air because of the tropical and subtropical conditions of the state. But there are also areas in the state that have water as a huge part of the environment, like swamp and marsh land. In these areas, it is very common to develop the area with services related to marine drilling. Sawgrass residents might not be aware of some of the complications that makes drilling in marshlands difficult even in the best of conditions.

Drilling Through Vegetation is Not Easy

Marshlands are characterized by low lying areas with lots of water and vegetation that is not trees such as tall grasses. Drilling through vegetation on land is not as much of a problem as when they are encountered during marine drilling. Sawgrass residents should know a combination of vegetation roots, water, and loose sediments can create many issues without the right equipment. For example, if someone is trying to collect a boring sample, the sample may be ruined slightly by the presence of roots and leafy material. It can also create clogs in some types of drilling equipment.

Low Visibility in Marshlands

Another difficulty that drilling professionals come across when working in marshlands is the fact that low visibility is common among the amount of vegetation and water that is present. Most drilling jobs do not begin until professionals know exactly what geological conditions they are drilling into, and this includes during marine drilling. Sawgrass residents should know that even in low and shallow bodies of water visibility is one of the most important characteristics that needs to be known before drilling begins. What is hiding under the surface of the water can be potentially dangerous to the drilling equipment, but also it can cause issues with the project at hand, such as with foundational drilling of a new structure.

Environmental Drilling Sawgrass Why are Location with Sawgrass Hard to Drill into?

/in , /by

Geotechnical drilling happens in locations all around the United State of America in very different conditions. In the State of Florida, some environmental conditions found here are not found anywhere else in the country. This includes issues related to coastal and maritime geotechnical drilling, as well as other types of environmental drilling. Sawgrass residents might not be aware that their cities name sake, natural sawgrass, is not easy to drill into when there is a large amount of it present. There are a few different reasons for this that professional drilling companies have to take notice when they go to a location that has sawgrass present.

The Locations Where Sawgrass is Present

Sawgrass can be seen in different locations, but it is most commonly seen in the wet marshlands of Florida. Even though water is easy to move through, it is not always easy to drill into, even with the best equipment made for environmental drilling. Sawgrass residents should know that drilling the sediments that lie underwater can be done, it is just not easy. This is because visibility is a huge problem but also for the fact that sediments are constantly moving and shifting, making it hard to have a good borehole at a location.

Sandy Soils in Marshlands

Sand is often timing the softest and most malleable form of sediment that people interact with. This is what makes many people believe that it would be easy to drill into, but this simply not the case when it comes to environmental drilling. Sawgrass residents should be made aware that even with the sand that is above sea level or in a coastal region is not easy to drill into because the soils keep shifting, and there is a higher likelihood of hitting water the deeper professionals go with their drilling equipment. It is very unlikely that sawgrass would be growing at a location that does not have a high amount of sandy soils.

Geotechnical Drilling Sawgrass How Do You Choose a Firm to Perform Geotechnical Drilling?

/in , /by

Sawgrass property owners should consider a number of different points as they find a geotechnical drilling firm to perform work at their site. Not all geotechnical drilling companies are equal and it’s important that you find the right firm for your unique needs. So what points should you consider when hiring a firm that specializes in geotechnical drilling? Sawgrass natives can consider the following.

Tips to Hire the Right Company to Perform Your Geotechnical Drilling

Sawgrass clients will want to begin by discussing their precise needs with the drilling firm. Geotechnical drilling is used to perform many different tasks, including:

  • Evaluating potential sinkhole sites
  • Performing investigations into contaminated soil
  • Determining the composition and integrity of a building site
  • Evaluating moisture content in the soil and identifying drainage issues
  • Determining the depth and quality of the underlying bedrock
  • Collecting soil samples and rock core samples
  • Evaluating the ground for the placement of underground structures

These are just some of the reasons why you may retain a geotechnical drilling firm to drill at your site. There are numerous types of geotechnical drilling rigs and each rig type is well suited to very specific project types. It’s important that the drilling firm that you select has the proper type of drilling rig and that the rig is available for the timeframe when you require it at your site.

 

Cost is certainly one consideration, but the firm’s experience and the overall quality of the work are other extremely important considerations to keep in mind. It may be worthwhile to read any ratings and reviews for the company you’re considering.

Additionally, you’ll want to determine the timeframe for the project so that you can make the appropriate accommodations. In cases where you need the job performed in a very timely manner, it may be possible to dispatch multiple drilling rigs to the site. This can reduce the timeframe for the drilling project in instances where multiple drilling sites are required.
