Environmental Legislation

As environmental legislation becomes stricter and more demanding, it is important that environmental investigation companies utilise the most up to date technology available to meet these demands.

With this in mind Drilcorp Ltd one of the UK’s leading waterwell drilling companies has diversified into the environmental drilling market by investing in revolutionary sonic drilling technology and has formed sonicbore a new operating division specialising in the
sampling of superficial deposits for geotechnical and environmental assessment.

The lightweight ‘sonic’ drilling rigs have been made as environmentally friendly as possible with super silenced engines, biodegradeable oils and rubber tracks. They are fitted with user friendly hydraulic rod handling systems and safety cut out controls. Although designed for sonic drilling, the rigs are versatile and can also carry out conventional drilling through rock using standard flushing techniques to DTH, tricones, or core.
SPT’s and Undisturbed Samples can be taken for geotechnical investigations.
