Geotechnical Drilling

Drilex has completed thousands of exploratory borings to assist the successful completion of site investigations, hydrogeologic assessments, groundwater evaluations, aquifer classifications and geotechnical structural boring points required prior to construction.

Drilex provides data to the engineering industry through difficult access drilling. The types of projects that we are involved in on a regular basis are:

  • Geological consulting
  • Foundation exploration
  • Pier location
  • Soil sampling
  • Core sampling
  • Utility alignment
  • Aquifer classifications
  • ASTM Standard Penetration Tests (SPT)
  • Shelby tube sampling
  • Split spoon sampling
  • SPT energy calibration
  • Inclinometer Installation
  • Packer permeability tests

Drilex prides itself on acquiring data within the footprint of proposed or existing structures, regardless of access constraints.

Drilex responds to our client's needs. This may require anything from coring rock to depths in excess of 100 feet in a remote area or drilling auger holes in the middle of a major interstate highway. In all cases, responsiveness means being prepared for the apparent job and for any unforeseen circumstances. Our in-house fabrication facility and our shop personnel's extensive experience enable Drilex to design and build special equipment to tackle any task.
