Soil Surveys
large drilling rig fleet comprises a Hydrapower Explorer 500 and a Hydrapower Scout rig. These truck mounted and powerful rigs are equipped for deep borehole drilling (in excess of 150m).
These rigs have auger (solid and hollow stem), cased wash bore, wash bore, wireline and core drilling facilities, along with full sampling (U50, U75) and testing (SPT, Vane Shear) capabilities and are available for investigation work on your sites or as a contract drilling option.
We can respond quickly and efficiently to your most urgent needs…large or small, anywhere in Australia. To complement our drilling services, Soil Surveys can provide engineering supervision of our
