The sonic drill rig is an amazing example of revolutionary technology; boring 3-5 times faster (depending on the type of soil conditions) without the use of drilling mud and capable of providing continuous core samples to depths of more than 300 ft. (100 m). Our ability to rapidly drill and sample challenging formations provides the most cost-effective solution for environmental investigations.

Using patented drilling technology developed by the Sonic Drill Corporation and used exclusively by Sonic Drilling Ltd. in BC, geothermal holes are drilled 3-5 times faster than any other method. Plus, we can core, case, loop and grout in one operation. In gravel and boulder ground, where other rigs experience great difficulty, sonic technology can easily penetrate tough terrain to provide an economical geothermal installation. Our time-on-site is measured in days, not weeks.

Due to its unique non-intrusive abilities, sonic drilling technology has often been used (and specifically requested in government contracts) for sensitive projects such as environmental investigations, dam remediation, nuclear site exploration and hazardous waste site reclamation. Because vibrations from the sonic drill bit are not transmitted very far beyond the drill, penetrations can occur into very sensitive areas such as critical eco-systems, unstable terrain or vulnerable situations where traditional drilling would cause more harm or be impossible to complete.
