In last month’s The Driller, we touched on geotechnical and environmental field work. This month, I discuss safety in a wrap-up to a three-part series on limited access drilling.
Whenever I read an issue of The Driller magazine and see an article about limited-access drilling, I get a little excited. But then I usually feel a bit disappointed when I realize that it’s about limited access for foundation drilling. While it certainly is important to have buildings with a properly designed and built foundation, that’s not the only type of limited access drilling. In my case, the discipline is geotechnical and environmental drilling.
