GEOTECHNICAL DRILLING

Complimentary to Epoca’s environmental drilling service, we provide technical capabilities for geotechnical investigations, enabling both capacities to be run either separately or concurrently, as required.

The below technical specifications outline each of our rigs’ capabilities for geotechnical investigation projects. All of our plant and equipment is purchased new and is fully maintained for optimum performance on site.
