Hard Rock Coring
Profile Drilling has a wide arsenal of drill rigs that we use to tri-cone or core rock. These rigs utilize various sizes of tri-cone bits that enable us to install up to 4” monitoring wells. For coring we have NQ, HQ and PQ tooling which enable us to install up to 4” monitoring wells. We also employ mud rotary for sand and unconsolidated lenses.
With Profile Drilling's vast experience in rock coring we have an answer for your rock coring needs.
