FAQs
General Questions
Foundation drilling involves creating deep, stable holes in the ground to support structures. It is necessary to ensure a strong and secure foundation for buildings, bridges, and other structures, especially in challenging soil conditions.
Foundation drilling is needed for residential, commercial, and industrial projects, including buildings, bridges, retaining walls, and towers.
Technical Questions
Our rigs can drill piers of any diameter and reach depths of up to 120 feet.
Yes, we specialize in low-clearance work and can operate in spaces with overhead restrictions as low as 22 feet.
A cased pier uses a steel or concrete casing to stabilize the hole during drilling, while a belled pier has an expanded base to distribute the load over a larger area.
Core barreling involves extracting cylindrical samples of soil or rock for analysis. It is often required to assess ground conditions for engineering and construction planning.
Safety and Certification
Yes, all of our operators are certified foundation drilling rig operators, and our ground hands are certified foundation drilling ground engineers.
We enforce strict safety protocols, including regular equipment inspections, safety training for all team members, and adherence to industry standards to ensure a safe working environment.
Project Planning
The timeline depends on the project size, soil conditions, and specific requirements. We provide detailed schedules during the planning phase to ensure timely completion.
Yes, we have the equipment and expertise to handle projects in tight or urban spaces, including low-clearance environments.
To prepare an accurate quote, we need details such as project location, required pier depth and diameter, soil conditions, and any specific challenges or restrictions.
