Geotechnical Drilling Wesley Park How Long Will it Take to Perform Geotechnical Drilling?
Wesley Park, Georgia natives may have lots of questions when it comes to a geotechnical drilling project. One of the most common questions we receive concerns the time frame for the drilling project.
When it comes to geotechnical drilling, Wesley Park natives can generally expect the project to take at least the better part of a day, although some projects go a bit faster, while others can take considerably longer. Let’s examine what impacts the time frame of your geotechnical drilling project.
Wesley Park geotechnical drilling projects can vary significantly in terms of the time frame as there are many different factors that can come into play.
One major factor is the precise location of the geotechnical drilling site. Some sites are very easy to access, while others are a bit more challenging. Some larger drills are mounted on a large truck, so if the area in question is not easily accessible by vehicle, then we may need to use an alternative type of drill or special accommodations may need to be made in order to allow the drill to be maneuvered into position.
Another factor is the type of drilling rig that will be utilized for your project. The set up time frame varies dramatically depending upon the size of the drilling rig and the type of drilling rig.
The ground composition and the depth of the drilling project is another primary point to consider when it comes to how long the project will take. If you’re drilling to a depth of just 10 or 15 feet and you’re drilling into relatively soft soil, then the project generally moves along fairly quickly, whereas other projects may involve drilling to much greater depths of 80 feet or more. A deeper drilling project can take much longer, especially if you’re drilling into stone.
The type of stone that you’re drilling into also has a major impact on the time frame for your geotechnical drilling project. A fairly soft stone such as sandstone or limestone is conducive to swift progress, whereas harder stones such as granite can make for slow going.
You’ll also need to consider the number of drilling sites. In some cases, the client may only require just one drilling site or a small handful of drilling sites, whereas a larger site can see a lot of variance in geology, necessitating many more drilling sites. The number of drilling sites will vary depending upon what information you’re trying to obtain and the size of the site in question.
Due to all of these variables, it’s best to speak with one of Amdrill’s experts to determine the projected time frame for your Wesley Park drilling project.
