Rotary Coring

South West Geotechnical's armoury of rotary tools range from the smallest hand-held kits to a 6-wheel truck-mounted unit, with everything in between. Quality information and recovery is recognised as the main requirement from coring work, and our drillers are particularly experienced in obtaining the optimum amount of information from the hole.
