The work behind
the confidence.

Real site photographs from our drilling and soakage work. See the access challenges, the equipment and the practical setup behind each service.

Tight access

Compact rigs. Considered access.

Indoor spaces, covered passages and established gardens each call for a different setup. These photographs show our compact equipment positioned in real working areas.

What this means for your site

For your project, we review clear width, turns, overhead clearance, ground support and room to operate. Send the access route and drilling point together so we can assess a suitable approach.

Flow testing

Water supply. Measured performance.

Water-truck flow testing helps assess the performance of an existing soakage device under the agreed test conditions. Our site photographs show the truck positioning and hose arrangements behind that work.

What this means for your site

We coordinate access to the device, water supply and the test setup. Your engineer receives the agreed results and any relevant limitations; a nearby result is never substituted for your site’s measured performance.

Site drilling

Boreholes for the site in front of us.

Our soakage work takes us from existing residential properties to open construction sites. The photos show different rig positions, ground surfaces and arrangements for hoses and equipment.

What this means for your site

Locations, bore diameter, depth and testing requirements are agreed from the project brief. We discuss access and site preparation before scheduling the drilling.

Machine drilling

Support for ground investigations.

Larger drilling setups bring together the mast, support equipment, crew and working area. These photographs show our equipment in the field.

What this means for your site

Your geotechnical engineer defines the investigation objectives. We agree the drilling, sampling and field testing scope to support that brief.

Maintenance

Access first. Then assess.

An existing manhole may need cleaning before its bore openings can be inspected or a useful flow test carried out. This photograph shows hydro equipment positioned at a manhole.

What this means for your site

We discuss device condition, equipment access and the cleaning scope before arranging the next step. Cleaning and testing are distinct activities, each with a clear purpose.

Good projects start
with a conversation.
