Geotechnical drilling.
Clients choose us because they Trust in what we get out of the ground. No assumptions, but reliable drilling profiles and representative samplings. That quality lies in the combination of the right technology, experienced people and processes that are right.

Safe and stable construction.
With geotechnical drilling, we bring out essential information for the soil research, so that our physical environment can be safely built. From roads and buildings to complete area developments.
The ground provides information about
- Load-bearing capacity of the soil
- Castings and subsidence
- Stability of embankments and construction pits
- Compressibility
- Soil construction and low transition
- Low depth and thickness
- Grain structure and composition
We get the knowledge from the ground up.
We go into the ground and bring up the facts. We describe what we find, take the right samples and give further research a reliable basis.
Soil description
In the drilling profile we describe the soil in detail. We capture what is really in the ground. Layer by layer, including depth, soil type, composition, structure and striking deviations.
Sampling from each soil layer
We take samples from the relevant soil layers for further research. We carry auger drilling out for regular sampling, Pulse drilling for greater depths and loose or aquifer layers and core drilling when the original soil structure should be preserved as much as possible.
Soil survey (external)
Our drill profiles and samples form the reliable basis for further geotechnical research. Laboratories, geotechnical consultancies and engineering firms are building on this. With analyses and calculations for load-bearing capacity, setting, stability and the right foundation solution.

Frequently asked questions.
Can you carry out complete drilling programmes for large projects?
Definitely. We have the people, machines and processes to run complete drilling programmes in multiple locations. With grip on the execution and Trust in what we get out of the ground.
Can you drill in hard-to-reach or complex locations?
Yeah, yeah. On land we bring our machines to almost every location. We will continue offshore and underwater. With our modular Geolift 1 jack-up platform We carry out geotechnical drilling in water to a depth of approximately 20 metres. Especially where accessibility becomes an even bigger challenge.
What drilling techniques can you use for geotechnical research?
The surface determines the technique. We put avegaar-, pulse- and core drilling focused on soil structure, depth and desired sample quality. Not a standard approach, but the best drilling for the best result.
