Drilling Mayport What Types of Drilling are Popular in the State of Florida?

Geotechnical drilling is one of the most important services to a community because they are able to transform and build new structures, infrastructure, and additions and developed urbanized areas. But not all drilling is the same, and in the state of Florida, there are many types of drilling. Mayport residents might not know about the different types of drilling they will see in their community, but some of them are not very popular in other areas of the United States. Here are some of the more popular options for drilling in and around Florida.

Marine and Coastal Drilling

One of the more common types of drilling done in the state of Florida that is not done in other areas is marine drilling. Mayport residents might already know that marine drilling is done in a large body of water, but that does not always imply just the ocean. Consider how inland bodies of water can also benefit from development and drilling. Marine drilling is also done inland to build specific structures such as a dock or a boardwalk, or even a bridge that goes over a river or lake. Marine drilling can be done in other states with no coastline, but it is so common in Florida that many people think that it is also common elsewhere.

Drilling for Sinkholes

Geotechnical drilling companies are probably the professionals that insurance companies call most often to handle sinkhole investigations and remediation. In order for a sinkhole to develop, there has to be the right geological conditions, and only a few states have to deal with sinkholes and professional drilling. Mayport residents should know that sometimes a sinkhole will be present where there are no notable signs to make someone believe so. Coincidentally, geological conditions can make it look as though there is a sinkhole in a specific spot, but after collecting samples, it can show that a depression formed naturally without the loss of specific soils and sediments.
