  • Rotary Boreholes

    Rotary Open Hole techniques are employed to investigate the presence of shallow (<30m) coal using a water flush system to prevent the ignition of potentially explosive mine gases for deep observations of coal bearing strata.

  • Cable Percussive Boreholes

    Cable Percussive Boreholes can achieve deeper borehole depths than Window Sampling techniques - over 20m (possibly up to 50m depending on conditions) using a clay cutter through cohesive soils, a casing and shell through granular soils and a chisel to break up rock and other hard layers.
    Show
  • Window Sampling Boreholes

    Window sampling or windowless sampling is a technique used to bore through shallow soft soils to investigate the substrata in order to gain a profile of the ground conditions and to facilitate soil sampling for chemical and geotechnical analysis.
    Show
  • Trial Pitting

    A trial pit (a.k.a. test pit) is a ground investigation technique that is used as a means of investigating, in large scale, the condition of the ground and the type of strata present at shallow depth, typically before beginning construction works. They are useful for obtaining large volume bulk samples of the ground.

  • Coal Authority Assessments

    Developing on land that has been previously mined or has had the potential to be previously mined can be problematic. As such the Coal Authority (CA) is a statutory consultee for the planning departments across the country.
