Sonic Drilling for Environmental Soil Sampling and Monitoring Wells
Sonic drilling is a safe, clean and a low-impact environmental drilling technique. Roto Sonic Boreholes are drilled, cored and cased by rotating and vibrating the rod, core barrel and casing at resonant sonic frequencies. It is outstanding in its ability to provide continuous, undisturbed core samples through any geological formation – even the most-difficult-to-drill terrain with boulders for environmental soil sampling, or monitoring well installation.
This highly efficient environmental drilling method results in overall project cost savings for Summit Drilling customers due to a reduction in time personnel are required to be in the field. In addition, sonic drilling generates considerably less drill spoils than auger, mud or air rotary methods, saving additional project resources.
RotoSonic drilling delivers many benefits, including:
- Safety
- Speed
- Reliability
- Cost Effectiveness
- 70-80% Less Waste
- Depths to 800’
- Elimination of refusal
- Discrete water sampling
- Continuously sampled borings
- Continuously cased boreholes
- Diameters of up to 12”
- Superior Results
