What is Geotechnical Drilling?

Geotechnical drilling is a crucial component to site design, structural engineering and construction, involving the extraction of soil and rock samples from the earth’s subsurface. These samples are then analyzed to understand the physical and chemical properties of the soil, helping engineers make informed decisions.
