Geotechnical Survey Balm What Tools are needed for a Geotechnical Survey?

/in , /by

Performing a geotechnical survey of any area is no easy task. In fact, in order to be effective when performing a geotechnical survey, Balm geotechnical drilling professionals are going to need to have a lot of different types of equipment to be prepared for any geological conditions. Not one tool or piece of equipment is going to be the end all be all of geotechnical survey tools, and many times professionals will have multiple types of the same tool in case one breaks or is malfunctioning. Here is a small list of the tools that are imperative to geotechnical drilling professionals when they are outperforming a geotechnical survey.

Various Types of Drill Bits

Depending on the geological conditions of a location, a drill bit is selected to make it the easiest to drill into the ground based on soil and sediment hardness, as well as moisture and groundwater. There are many types of drill bits that a professional company would have at their disposal, such as:

  •         Mud Rotary Drill Bits
  •         Hollow Stem Drill Bits
  •         Auger Drill Bits
  •         Diamond-tipped Drill Bits

When it comes to a geotechnical survey, Balm professionals will bring as many drill bits with them as possible to be able to drill through certain types of sediments and ground conditions that are not readily observable from the surface.

Tool Used for Sample Collection

Apart from special tools needed to gain access to the ground at a specific location, it is also just as important for geotechnical drilling professionals to have access to tools for sample collection. Taking a sample from the ground is an excellent way to have insight of geological conditions below the surface. When it comes to a geotechnical survey, Balm residents should be made aware that taking samples is one of the most important aspects of producing an accurate geotechnical survey.  A small plot of land may only need one sample to see what is going on, but it is much more common for professionals to take multiple
