Deep drilling

Drilling is the backbone of most foundation technologies. We operate modern rigs for boreholes up to 350 mm — including places large machines cannot reach.

About the technology

Deep drilling overlaps with many disciplines directly or indirectly and is essential for a wide range of technical works — from foundations through remediation and drainage to site investigation.

We own modern drilling rigs for boreholes up to 350 mm in diameter as well as unique compact equipment that can operate where larger machines cannot: courtyards, basements, infill plots or slopes.

Key benefits

  • Diameters up to 350 mm

    A wide range of profiles for micropiles, anchors, grouting and drainage.

  • Confined spaces

    Compact rigs fit through doorways — we drill from basements too.

  • All geologies

    Rotary, percussion or core drilling chosen to match the ground.

  • Precise execution

    Design alignment and inclination maintained, continuous records.

Process

How the work proceeds

  1. 01

    Setting out

    Marking boreholes per design, utility checks.

  2. 02

    Method selection

    Drilling technology chosen by geology and purpose.

  3. 03

    Drilling

    Execution with continuous alignment and depth control.

  4. 04

    Documentation

    Borehole logs and protocols handed over.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What diameters and depths do you drill?

Standard boreholes up to 350 mm. Depth depends on technology and geology — tens of metres are routine for micropiles and anchors.

Can you drill inside a building?

Yes, our compact rigs are designed for basements and low-headroom spaces with limited access.

Do you also drill investigation boreholes?

Yes, including core drilling with sample recovery for geological assessment.
