Core handling that supports geotechnical logging

Geotechnical logging, the detailed description of the soil and rock in each borehole, is carried out by your engineering geologist or geotechnical engineer. Our job is to hand them clean, complete core and records to work from.

✓ Core recovery recorded for every run

✓ Depths marked on the core at the start and end of each run

✓ Core boxed in order and labelled by borehole and depth

✓ Photographs of the core boxes

✓ Drilling records and documentation supplied with the core

✓ Secure chain-of-custody dispatch of samples
