Subsurface Drilling Services

Representing an important component of our comprehensive portfolio of geotechnical services, TRC has routinely employed a variety of drilling techniques to obtain soil and rock samples for geotechnical analysis and investigative purposes since 1961. Methods that are typically employed by our crews include: • continuous flight auger• split spoon• shelby tubes• rock core drilling• non-destructive / non-intrusive

geophysical investigations

Leveraging such expertise, TRC has the in-house capability to perform all of the geotechnical borings that may be required by a Client and has routinely done so for assignments throughout a wide geographic area that comprises DE, NJ, PA, VA, WV, DC, NY and CT.

Our drillers are very familiar with all standard drilling methods and

procedures, and are proficient with the use of specialized sampling techniques and the installation of various types of instrumentation. Capabilities of our crews include:• Earth Drilling

- split-spoon sampling- auger probes- undisturbed sampling- mud-rotary drilling- thin-walled tube samples- vane shear testing

• Instrumentation Installation- piezometers- slope inclinometers- burros-type settlement anchors- extensometers

• Rock Coring (N or H sizes)• Pavement/Slab Coring• In-situ Testing

- vane shear- CBR- permeability

• Well Installation (up to 4” dia.)

TRC crews mobilized atop a pontoon barge in the Anderson Creek Reservoir in Central Pennsylvania to perform sediment sampling using a tripod rig.

A delicate walkway, steep slope, and congested parking areas posed no problems for TRC crews when undertaking work at SEPTA’s Malvern Station in Philadelphia.

TRC crews mobilized in the Sacandaga Reservoir and Saratoga Lake for two bridge replacement projects undertaken in the Adirondack Mountains of New York.

Drilling services for this bridge rehabilitation project in NE Pennsylvania required an innovative mobilization set-up due to excessive river flows and traffic restrictions.
