The Smorgasbord

    unit number 147Second only to the right people for the job, is the right equipment, and we've got lots of both.

    One of the more reliable toolsWith so many available combinations of drill, carrier, down-hole equipment, and support equipment - we can almost always provide a custom tailored solution to meet the challenge of any project.

     

 

The Selection Process

1. To access the site, a drill may need to be:

Grab sample from Solid Stem Auger2. Drilling tools and methods must be selected based on the program objectives, anticipated stratigraphy, and within the capabilities of the particular drill. We can select from:

  • Solid Stem Augers in 4 sizes from 3 in. to 6 in. hole size.
  • Hollow Stem Augers in 8 different sizes from 2.25 in. i.d. to 10.25 in. i.d.
  • Wireline Casing Advancers in 3 sizes from BW to HW
  • Wireline Diamond Drilling in 4 sizes from BQ to PQ
  • Air Rotary to 6 in. dia.
  • DTH Hammer to 6 in. dia.
  • 90mm Stratex Casing System
  • Mud Rotary to 12.25 in. dia.
  • Hydraulic Bucket Boring for holes up to 48 in. dia..  

Cyclone Sampling3. Sampling and Testing tools and methods are selected based upon program objectives, and must be compatible with the drilling tools and methods selected. These can include:

  • Piezocone (CPTu)
  • Visual (grab) sampling
  • Continuous Soil Core - Wireline (HSA)
  • Shelby tube
  • SPT
  • Continuous Soil Core - Wireline (Casing Advancer)
  • Air Stream Cyclone
  • Pneumatic Packer testing, Single & Double
  • Saturated Sand Continuous Coring
  • Fluid and Air Wireline Diamond Drilling
  • Vane Shear Apparatus  
 Soup two Nuts (heh - heh !)4. The installation of instruments to obtain information is often requried. We carry an extensive inventory of construction materials, and transport them to the job site in any quantities required.
  • Monitoring well construction materials
  • Inclinometers
  • Cassagrande Piezometers
  • Pnuematic Piezometers
  • Sample containers
 Snow Machine5. Additional support equipment is often required to complete a project. We select from:
  • ATV's, snowmobile, quad, track trailer, track carriers
  • Crane
  • Self Powered Drill Barge
  • Water Trucks
  • Decon Equipment
  • Arctic Drill Enclosure
  • 4x4 Service Vehicles
  • Communication equipment, cell phones, FM two-way, Radio Telephone
