Drilling in confined spaces

Exploratory boreholes often need to be drilled on site. And this may be beneath buildings. There are many reasons for this: geotechnical investigations, environmental assessments or hydrogeological surveys.

A building settles, and the causes of this settlement need to be investigated. Conducting a soil investigation directly at the site of the settlement—rather than next to the building—provides the most accurate information and enables reliable recommendations for correcting the settlement.

The soil is contaminated, and samples must be collected for chemical analysis. To pinpoint the source of the contamination, it may be necessary to drill in hard-to-reach areas. This will enable the development of sustainable remediation plans.

STUBORE® enables precise sampling even in hard-to-reach locations. In addition, the drilling system operates cleanly and produces fewer emissions than other drilling methods.
