Understanding site conditions, identifying potential risks, and making informed design and construction decisions are critical for the success of your project. Lucion’s ground investigation drilling services offer you a comprehensive range of techniques tailored to meet your specific needs, ensuring accurate and reliable results.
Our experienced drilling team, equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and following industry best practises, delivers efficient and high-quality services for your project, including:
Dynamic Sampling with SPT/DPT
Obtain valuable data on soil strength and density, crucial for foundation design and assessing bearing capacity. Our team conducts Standard Penetration Testing (SPT) and Dynamic Probe Testing (DPT) to provide you with the necessary information for your project.
Rotary Drilling
Benefit from various drilling methods, including dynamic sampling, auger drilling (solid and hollow stem), open hole drilling, and conventional coring. We also offer Geobor S wireline coring with SPT and UT100 sampling for detailed geotechnical assessments. Our Comacchio and Premier rigs accommodate various casing and drill bit sizes to meet your project specifications.
Flush Methods
Ensure optimal drilling performance and sample recovery in various ground conditions with air, mist, and water flush methods, selected based on your project’s specific requirements. Our team has the expertise to choose the most appropriate method for your site.
Breakers and Coring
Efficiently break through hard surfaces and retrieve intact core samples for comprehensive analysis of subsurface conditions. Our rotary rigs are equipped with breakers and coring attachments, and we also have diamond core barrels that run off the rigs and a standalone corer, allowing for a neat finish on site through hard standing.
Grouting Services
Seal boreholes, stabilise ground, and control groundwater flow with our expertly designed and implemented grouting solutions. We offer grouting services upon request, utilising specialised equipment to ensure the effectiveness of the solution.
Concrete Coring
Obtain high-quality core samples for strength testing and analysis through our partner laboratory. This service, offered through Lucion Inspection, allows for accurate assessment of concrete structures.
Pile Probing
Assess the integrity and depth of existing pile foundations to evaluate performance and plan future construction activities. Our team offers pile probing services, providing valuable information for your project.
Foundation Pits and Hand Pitting
Gain direct observation and sampling of soils and foundation materials through excavated foundation pits and hand pitting. Our experienced team will excavate the pits in a controlled and safe manner, providing a written report with photographs of the foundation and pit.
BRE365 Soakaway Testing
Ensure effective drainage solutions by determining the infiltration capacity of soils in accordance with BRE Digest 365. We have perfected the method of setting up BRE365 tests on-site, allowing for testing over a few days when required without compromising health and safety. Our construction of the BRE365 test leaves the ground in its original condition.
