How to choose

From the sector to the right test

Start with geotechnical investigation

borehole · strength · sample

For most projects, the first step is to open the borehole, measure strength and stiffness and recover the subsoil sample.

View area →

Mining and mineral exploration

core drilling · core sample

Inclined diamond core drilling, borehole logging and core orientation to characterise the rock mass and the ore.

View area →

Contaminated areas and liabilities

direct push · monitoring

Monitoring wells and direct push sampling for environmental assessment in industrial and remediation sites.
