WHAT IS SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION?
WHAT IS SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION?
Subsurface exploration is the systematic investigation of ground conditions at a project site through drilling, sampling, testing, and documentation. A well-executed exploration program reduces design uncertainty, supports accurate construction cost estimation, and identifies potential geotechnical hazards before they become construction problems.
MAK Drilling supports subsurface exploration programs for engineers, developers, municipalities, and environmental teams across the Midwest.
Subsurface exploration supports geotechnical engineers preparing site investigation reports and foundation recommendations, structural engineers and developers evaluating site feasibility.
Environmental consultants characterize subsurface conditions, municipalities and utilities plan capital improvement projects, and transportation agencies and contractors investigate roadway and bridge sites.
SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION ACROSS THE MIDWEST
SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION ACROSS THE MIDWEST
Ground conditions across the Midwest are highly variable. Glacial soils, alluvial deposits, shallow bedrock, and expansive clays present different challenges depending on location.
MAK Drilling’s crews are experienced in Midwest site conditions and bring the field knowledge needed for efficient and accurate exploration. Based in Grand Forks, ND, we support projects throughout the region.
