Rock Drilling & Coring Geelong
Rock drilling and coring are essential techniques in geology, mining, construction, and engineering. They are used to investigate subsurface conditions, extract rock samples, create boreholes, or install structural elements. Here’s an overview of each process:
Rock Drilling
Rock drilling involves creating holes or boreholes in rock formations using various tools and machinery. The purpose can range from exploring geological formations to installing foundations or utilities. The drilling method used depends on factors like the type of rock, the depth of the hole, and the desired outcome.
Rock Coring
Rock coring is the process of extracting a cylindrical sample of rock (a core) from a subsurface formation. Coring is typically used in geological studies, mineral exploration, and geotechnical investigations to obtain a continuous sample of the rock layers.
Rock Drilling & Coring FAQs
When is rock drilling needed? +
Whenever footings, posts or services have to pass through rock that normal excavation cannot shift — common on basalt country around Geelong and out towards Colac.
Can you drill rock on a residential block? +
Yes — our equipment mounts on excavators from 2 tonne up, so we can drill rock in a backyard as easily as on a commercial site.
