Drilling Versatility
Exceptional Overburden Performance
Foremost DR 24 drills have been proven repeatedly in some of the toughest unconsolidated overburden formations, including sand, gravel, glacial till and boulders. The Dual Rotary method minimizes the likelihood of loss circulation and aquifer cross-contamination. The DR can drill without fluids, the ability to detect water in low-flow formations is improved.
Casing
We can drill from 6 up to 24” cased holes with the DR Drill Rig and can install 24″ casing, to any depth depending on soil conditions. With 250 Caldweld boring machine using a Vibro Hammer where necessary, we can drill to 48″ Diameter casing.
Control of Discharge
Cuttings are diverted through the discharge swivel and can be directed via a hose to a safe and convenient dumping and monitoring point. This is a useful feature when drilling at homeowner sites or when cutting must be contained for environmental or safety reasons.
Water Well Drilling
Commercial & Residential.
Hydraulic Elevator
New installs and refits, (Inside building, off the rails.)
Vibro Hammer Work
The vibro hammer is used to vibrate tube pilings, I beam pilings, and sheet piles for Cofferdams into the ground.
Alignment Holes For Tunnels
Drilled with a DR24 drill rig, generally with 12” casing.
Rock Sockets & Bridge Caissons
24” casing is socketed 3ft into the rock for weight bearing and bridge support.
Micro Plies
Micro plies are (6”) small caissons usually used for bearing weight or pinning to rock.
