We are providing the following images for the benefit of our many Clients and other personnel throughout ODOT, to give a pictorial overview of the work that our Drilling Crews perform, to gather the important Geotechnical data that makes the design of Roadways and Structures safer, longer-lasting, and of higher quality, for our ultimate customers, the motoring public.

Our Drillers work on the road...

...and off the road

We work on dry land...

...and on the water

Our Drillers will take any road to the site, no matter how remote

And if no road exits, we'll make our own

Our drillers go to great lengths (and heights) to get the drill rig on site

Here are some more pictures of our Drillers, hard at work...

Running the earth auger

Drilling and sampling in soils

Working on the railroad is nothing new to our drillers

And we do bridges too

Setting up some traffic control

Coring through bedrock

Some of our final product: Rock Core Samples

An installed Inclinometer Casing
