Semmes’s residents should know more about these different types of geotechnical drilling efforts because they may need one or more of them in the future.

The type of drilling efforts that professionals will be doing depends on what the task at hand is, but also what the environmental conditions are like at a specific location.

Different types of drilling services are beneficial to different types of people in different types of industries and circumstances. Here are some of the more common drilling services that can have drastically different results for people.

Marine Drilling Services

A lot of people are under the impression that because of the name itself when talking about geotechnical drilling, Semmes residents might think that professionals are only going to be working on land, but this is not true.

One type of drilling service that is offered by a professional drilling company is marine drilling. Most people quickly think of drilling to be done in the open ocean, which is true, but it is also important to keep in mind that there are many bodies of water that can be found inland which can be improved with drilling efforts.

Marine drilling is very important when developing coastal areas of urban cities, such as building up a fishing pier or a boardwalk on a beach. Inland, this can be materialized as a bridge that needs to be constructed over a river.

Geotechnical Drilling investigations and Sample Collection

When someone calls upon a professional company to come out and perform a specific service related to geotechnical drilling, Semmes residents should know that gaining access underground is not always the primary objective.

Another popular type of geotechnical drilling services that many industries benefit from are those that require an investigation of a specific piece of land, or sample collection to understand the soil and sediment conditions better.

A geotechnical survey of a specific piece of land is very important when working in underdeveloped areas, as there is usually little to no information about what conditions are like and if there are any issues. Samples are needed in some instances to further understand the qualities of the soil and sediment that is present.
