Geological Drilling & Geotechnical Services
Assessment of ground conditions to ensure the safe design and implementation of projects
Why this service is important
Geological, geotechnical and groundwater conditions have a direct impact on the safety, costs and schedule of a project. Proper assessment of the ground conditions helps to minimise uncertainty during the planning and design stages, select appropriate foundation solutions and prepare the documentation required for administrative procedures.
GT’s offer
GT provides comprehensive geological and drilling, geotechnical, hydrogeological and engineering-geological services on land and at sea. The scope of work includes the investigation of geological structure and ground and water conditions, exploratory drilling, sampling, probing, laboratory testing, the preparation of documentation, and the assessment of the suitability of the subsoil for the planned project.
Technologies and operational advantages
GT’s strength lies in combining an experienced team with the necessary professional qualifications with state-of-the-art equipment, enabling work to be carried out in a variety of terrain and environmental conditions. For offshore and nearshore projects, we utilise, amongst other things, work platforms, vibroprobes for core sampling from the seabed and outboard CPT probes.
The results of geological, geotechnical, hydrogeological, geophysical and laboratory investigations are integrated into a coherent model of ground conditions.
Value for the client
The client receives a reliable picture of the ground conditions, which enables them to minimise design and construction risks, select appropriate technical solutions, prepare the required documentation and carry out the project safely.
We offer comprehensive solutions in the field of:
Construction industry
Our services in the field of comprehensive geological and geophysical surveys, which for the most part consist in the exploration of soil and water conditions, are widely applied in many areas. In the construction industry, they are provided for the purposes of such projects as:
- construction of railways, airports, roads, dams, bridges and flyovers above water reservoirs, underground tunnels, underground reservoirs, water intakes, hydro-nodes, monitoring of groundwater, slopes and landslides, absorption wells and drainage wells
- development of coastal infrastructure
- environmental site assessment for offshore oil and gas platforms
- soil exploration for horizontal directional drilling (HDD)
- installation of measurement assemblies (inclinometers, pore pressure sensors, extensometer, divers)
- installation of heat pumps in the low-temperature geothermal energy systems.
Mining industry
In the mining industry, our comprehensive geological and drilling services are mainly used to explore and identify natural resources deposits such as:
- building stones
- metal ore
- energy resources
- ceramic raw materials
- chemical raw materials
Renewable energy industry
We also provide comprehensive geological and drilling services, together with geophysical engineering surveys, for the needs of renewable energy projects on land and offshore wind farms. We carry out geotechnical surveys for offshore wind farms projects, in order to:
- determine environmental conditions for offshore wind farms
- determine geotechnical and environmental conditions for offshore wind farms foundations
- determining geotechnical and environmental conditions for offshore cable routes, connecting offshore wind farms with the coastal infrastructure
- determine geological condition on onshore and offshore part of a landfall
We are an active member of the Polish Wind Energy Association (PSEW).
