Essential Method for Subsurface Exploration
Borehole drilling is one of the most important techniques used in geotechnical site investigation. It allows engineers to examine soil and rock layers beneath the ground surface and collect samples for detailed analysis.
By drilling boreholes at selected locations, engineers can understand the soil profile, groundwater level, and engineering properties of the ground before construction begins.
What Happens During Borehole Drilling?
The borehole drilling process typically includes:
1.Drilling into the ground using specialised drilling rigs
2.Collecting disturbed and undisturbed soil samples
3.Conducting in-situ tests such as the Standard Penetration Test (SPT)
4.Recording the soil strata and groundwater conditions
The collected samples are then sent to a geotechnical laboratory for further testing.
Benefits of Borehole Drilling
Borehole drilling provides:
•Accurate soil profile information
•Reliable data for foundation design
•Identification of groundwater conditions
•Detection of weak or unstable soil layers
