Site Investigation
Precision-driven drilling that
informs smarter planning.
Every successful project begins with understanding the ground beneath it. Rivcore’s Site Investigation Drilling services support engineers, geologists and environmental specialists during the earliest—and most crucial—phases of project development. Whether the objective is to map subsurface conditions, confirm geotechnical assumptions or assess environmental risk, we provide the clarity needed to move forward with confidence.
With hands-on expertise across d eep hole drilling, soil testing and environmental assessment, our team delivers reliable subsurface data for projects of every scale. From transport corridors and commercial buildings to renewable energy sites and contaminated land assessments, Rivcore applies a considered, methodical approach that ensures each borehole contributes meaningful insight to the broader investigation.
Technical Accuracy Backed by Experience
With owner-operators actively involved on-site, every borehole is drilled with precision and purpose.
Licensed Environmental & Groundwater Capabilities
We work with full regulatory compliance to ensure every installation is accurate, safe and fit for long-term monitoring.
A Thoughtful, Collaborative Approach
We integrate seamlessly with engineering and environmental teams, bringing clear communication to every project.
Additional Services & Capabilities
Comprehensive Contract Drilling Support
Our Site Investigation Drilling services cover a wide range of geotechnical and environmental applications. This includes Standard Penetration Testing (SPT), soil, rock and core sample recovery, subsurface profiling, installation of monitoring wells and landfill gas bores, as well as test pitting and overburden investigations. Each service is delivered with precision to support accurate reporting and confident decision-making.
Versatile Drilling Methods
Rivcore’s rigs and equipment are designed to accommodate multiple drilling methods—solid flight and hollow stem auger drilling, mud and air rotary techniques, down-the-hole (DTH) hammer drilling, and support for Cone Penetration Testing (CPT). This versatility allows us to work effectively across varied terrain, navigate constrained access areas and manage complex geological conditions without compromising on quality or safety.
