We have a wide range of drilling rigs, techniques and tests available and our skilled experienced staff continually strive to provide the most appropriate methods to suit the geological conditions and objectives of a particular project.

Obtaining the highest possible quality cores requires drilling skills that can only be gained by vast experience across all rock types and geological structures. Fugro's drilling personnel pay particular attention to sensitive changes in lithology and to variations in piezometric head.

Careful design of the drilling flush storage, cleaning and circulation system ensures optimum stability of the borehole, lubrication of the drilling bit and the transportation of the cuttings clear of the bit face. This achieves maximum recovery of continuous core samples with the minimum of disturbance.
