Borehole Drilling Reporting

Our borehole drilling services can provide detailed insight into the subsurface conditions of your site. Our experts deliver insight into your ground through in-depth, on-site investigations.

Access to information about your ground’s attributes is essential. Throughout the span of your project’s development, your ground’s qualities will changelike this is vital for monitoring the ground’s characteristics. We then deliver the data and findings to you in a comprehensive report that details all the vital information you need for your project.

Purpose

When preparing your new site for your project, if you don’t have the right data on variables in the ground’s characteristics. Ground doesn’t just differ from field-to-field, but it can drastically change within short stretches of land. By identifying the types of soil and rock on your site, you can ensure your plans avoid issues caused by unsuitable land. Furthermore, this will ensure your developments have safe, strong foundations, thanks to your knowledge of the ground’s material makeup.

Potential obstructions are another key reason you need a borehole drilling report for your site. If you plan to install underground utility systems for your building, existing systems may cause disruptions in how you execute your initial plans, meaning you’ll be required to modify plans to ensure you can operate around them.

Other important factors a borehole drilling report can address include groundwater levels and potential ground contamination, which could pose a health and safety issue. Without access to a comprehensive report like this, designers and investors may lose confidence in projects, leading to additional redesigns, development delays, and safety risks.

Process

Our team of experts will set up an appropriate drill on your site to conduct a practical on-site investigation. This includes testing samples at different depths to assess the ground’s strength, materials and characteristics. We may use different drilling techniques, depending on your project, to achieve the most accurate results.

Any issues spotted in groundwater can then be monitored, ensuring the effort is made to track changes over extended periods and fix the issues present. Many of the samples taken will be recorded on site to ensure you have a real-time recording of the conditions, some will be sent off for further analysis if more information is required.

Everything is compiled into a comprehensive Borehole drilling report that covers vital information about your site’s ground and it is a key resource you should refer to throughout your project’s entire development.
