Groundwater investigation

Groundwater is essential for everyday life. Speight Drilling offer an extensive range of groundwater-related services to help investigate, test and developed sources to support hydrological assessments for aquifer delineation, drinking water supply (waterbores), dewatering requirements and geotechnical investigations.

Specific water investigative tasks Speight Drilling can carry out include;

• Drilling (fully cored or chip samples) for geological/lithological delineation.
• Slug testing.
• Flow testing (using air-lift methods)
• Packer / lugeon testing.
• Pump testing.
• Piezometer Installation (standpipe or vibrating wire)
• Sampling for laboratory analysis.

We understand the importance of recording accurate drilling information (e.g. groundwater levels, penetration rates etc) as projects progress to support our clients in assessing the groundwater conditions. We have an ever-increasing knowledge base and are happy to work with you to get the information you need.
