Geotechnical Drilling
Geotechnical Drilling
Geotechnical site investigations are used to determine existing ground conditions, underlying geology, and hydrology. We use a wide range of drilling, soil sampling, and in-situ sampling techniques to provide data for engineering and design. This data can then be used to determine the type and use of preventative measures to mitigate possible settlement, soil movement, or the presence of groundwater that may adversely impact existing or proposed structures.
At Choice Drilling we use state-of-the art equipment and instruments to conduct your geotechnical testing with accuracy and to industry standards.
