Services
Drilling Services
We offer rotary percussive drilling techniques with 88.9-150mm casing options for varied ground conditions. Our capabilities include incline/vertical drilling, temporary casing installation, and low headroom operations. Using water/air flushing methods compliant with coal measures standards, we deliver precision drilling up to 100m depth with in-house GPS/Auto-CAD surveying support.
Grouting Services
Our grouting solutions consolidate mine workings, sewers, and adits using bulk infill techniques. We employ high-volume peristaltic pumps and digital control systems for cement/PFA/sand mixtures. Specialised applications include shaft/adit consolidation with calibrated gas monitoring, tremmie delivery, and pressure testing to ensure ground stability and groundwater control.
Site Investigation
We conduct comprehensive site investigations using rotary core drilling (76-100mm) and dynamic sampling (SPT/CPT) methods. Our services include borehole logging to BS9530 standards, groundwater monitoring, contaminated site analysis, and AGS data reporting. We provide engineering logs in DWG/XLS formats with in-situ testing and trial pit excavations.
