Cable percussion boring can be used for:
- land and marine based ground investigation
- groundwater observation and monitoring boreholes
- contamination and leachate monitoring boreholes
For higher quality data for major engineering projects, recovery of large diameter cores is often a requirement,
particularly in superficial deposits and weak solid formations. To this end, Fugro Engineering Services undertake
rotary wireline coring using triple tube core barrels to produce 102 mm diameter core. We use our extensive experience
to select the appropriate core barrel, bit, core spring and flushing medium to maximise core recovery and borehole stability.
In solid formations, conventional coring will often provide a suitable alternative to the more sophisticated wireline techniques.
We have plant and equipment capable of undertaking any coring requirement. This is supported by a wide range of in-situ testing
techniques including:
- permeability tests (variable head, constant head and packer tests)
- well pumping tests
- pressuremeter and dilatometer tests
- impression packer tests
- geophysical borehole logging
- core orientation
- closed circuit television surveys
- borehole surveys
At Fugro Engineering Services we provide a wide range of drilling services for construction, water wells, waste management and environmental
engineering applications. Our fleet of plant and equipment provides the resources for cable percussion boring, rotary core drilling,
rotary open hole drilling and a variety of auger drilling techniques. As well as ground investigation applications,
these can be used for:
- water supply boreholes
- groundwater observation & monitoring boreholes
- contamination & leachate monitoring boreholes
- dewatering boreholes and soakaways
- landfill gas abstraction boreholes
- mineral exploration
- earthing and cathodic protection
Fugro Engineering Services Limited provides onshore site investigations for developments throughout the UK and overseas.
Projects generally involve drilling and in-situ testing followed by laboratory testing and reporting.
