The goal is to find out what the geological conditions of the project site are. The list of operations:
- preliminary site investigations of the survey area;
- drilling operations;
- field tests: static and dynamic sounding; measuring the bulk density of soil in-situ,torsion shear testing of soil, well logging, plate load tests;
- sampling, field and stationary lab work.
The drilling sector of JSC Lengiprotrans has its own drilling and auxiliary equipment and performs various works such as:
- core drilling with the sampling of disturbed / undisturbed soil;
- cable tool drilling;
- auger drilling with soil sampling;
- drilling of water wells;
- drilling of wells for various purposes in inaccessible locations using self-propelling drills and mobile drilling machines.
