Sonic drilling delivers continuous cores through virtually any geological formation, helping tunneling teams reduce uncertainty before excavation begins. With fast, high-quality core recovery and strong hydrogeologic visibility, sonic supports better design decisions, cleaner scopes, and fewer surprises in the field.
Why It Matters
Soft-ground tunneling projects can unravel quickly when subsurface conditions are misunderstood. Sonic drilling produces continuous, high-resolution cores even through cobbles, boulders, and man-made debris, giving engineers and contractors the detail they need to reduce change orders, delays, cost overruns, and downstream disputes.
What You’ll Learn In The Brochure
- How continuous sonic cores improve subsurface understanding for more realistic cost estimates
- How better site-specific data helps contractors build more accurate bids and cost proposals
- How sonic drilling can identify natural and man-made obstructions before they impact the bore path
- How sonic cores help flag ground conditions that may require improvement, such as very soft soils or flowing sands
- How to define conditions for designing and installing ground freezing systems
- How sonic data supports hydrogeology assessment that affects tunneling machine advancement
