Specialized Borehole Services
We offer borehole injection by cementing or plugging to support environmental protection and further investigations. In addition, we provide borehole deviation and steering services, enabling us to accurately direct drilling to the desired underground target. These services are an essential part of our intelligent approach, ensuring precision, responsibility, and optimal results.
KAMU
Rock Chip Sampling
Our track-mounted KAMU equipment penetrates up to 30 meters of overburden and even large boulders. This service quickly and reliably provides data on the till layer. KAMU enables confident sampling from bedrock at depths of up to 40 meters. The method delivers full certainty of the sample’s true location, speeding up the project and potentially reducing the need for more costly diamond drilling.
Sonic Drilling
The Best Solution for Challenging Soil Investigations
Our sonic drilling service utilizes high-frequency vibration, enabling rapid and almost undisturbed core sampling — even in demanding ground conditions such as soft or rocky soils. The method is up to 3–5 times faster than traditional drilling techniques. Sonic drilling is also highly environmentally friendly, generating up to 70% less waste and requiring no water to operate. It is suitable for mineral exploration, geotechnical and environmental investigations, as well as the examination of mine tailings ponds.
