Wick Drain Rigs

Our wick drain rigs are purpose-built to install vertical drains with speed and precision. These systems help stabilise soft, saturated soils by accelerating water removal and supporting faster ground settlement on large-scale projects.

Drilling Rigs

Equipped for flexibility, our drilling rigs are suited to a variety of job types—from overwater work to tight-access land sites. We match the right rig to your ground conditions and project scope.

Ground Improvement

We offer a range of ground improvement techniques to support construction on weak or unstable soils. Our services include wick drains, soil consolidation, and drainage systems to ensure lasting foundation stability.

Geotechnical Drilling Contractor

Our geotechnical drilling services provide essential data for safe, effective construction. We carry out borehole drilling, soil sampling, and testing to assist engineers, planners, and developers across a variety of industries.

Piezometer Installation 

Piezometers are installed to monitor groundwater pressure and flow over time. We use high-quality equipment and proven methods to deliver reliable data for environmental monitoring and engineering design.

Inclinometer Installation

Inclinometers help detect subsurface movement and monitor slope stability. We install these systems in boreholes to track changes in soil and rock formations, helping prevent damage and identify risks early.
