Getting ready to build a house? Or maybe you're a developer in need of geotechnical investigations? Then read this guide to discover everything you need to know about geotechnical drilling.
In today’s article, we’ll walk you through what a drilling system involves, why geotechnical drilling is critical in construction and how you can get a custom offer from Dromcons in just 24 hours.
Geotechnical drilling means exploring the ground beneath your project site to understand the physical and mechanical properties of the soil using specialized equipment.
The type of foundation depends on what the soil can support. For instance, a house built on sandy soil will need a very different foundation than one built on clay.
Drilling depth can vary—from just a few meters for residential projects to 25+ meters in large-scale infrastructure developments. Using modern equipment, we perform deep drilling and collect intact samples for geotechnical soil testing, helping you make informed and safe design decisions.
We use high-performance drilling rigs capable of carrying out accurate deep drilling in all soil types, no matter the weather or terrain conditions. The result: faster turnaround and highly accurate data.
With over 20 years of experience in construction drilling, roads, utilities, and complex geotechnical projects, our team is fully trained to deliver safe and effective drilling solutions.
We operate our own testing laboratory, so there’s no delay waiting for third-party services. All geotechnical tests are performed and interpreted by our team, ensuring control, speed, and traceability.
We know time is money. That’s why we deliver a technical and financial offer within 24 hours of receiving your request. Fast, clear, and without hidden surprises.
Dromcons offers complete authorized drilling services to match a wide range of project needs:
Before building a house, industrial hall, or office block, geotechnical drilling (and occasionally water well drilling) is necessary to determine the load-bearing capacity of the terrain and the right type of foundation.
In road construction, geotechnical drilling helps evaluate soil stability under pavement. For bridges, we often perform deep drilling and heavy dynamic penetration tests to ensure the foundation holds up over time.
For networks such as water pipes, sewage systems, or irrigation setups, we use exploratory drilling and geotechnical drilling to determine suitable locations and depths, as well as soil composition.
Dromcons conducted medium-depth geotechnical drilling, shallow boreholes, and super heavy dynamic penetration tests to determine soil strength and ensure foundation stability. The project also included detailed topographic studies and full technical design services.
We performed 75 boreholes at various depths as part of a complex geotechnical study for an 11 km road and 7 intersections. These results played a vital role in foundation decisions and construction planning.
This project involved 51 boreholes, up to 25 meters deep, for an 8 km road and 3 intersections. Our team delivered topographical studies, soil and foundation investigations, and lab analyses—helping secure approvals and ensure a rock-solid construction base.

Depending on the soil type and complexity, a drilling project can take anywhere from 1 to 3 days. For larger developments, drilling is done in phases—but our teams are efficient and equipped to stay on schedule.
The price of a drilling system depends on:
That said, Dromcons guarantees fair pricing, in line with industry standards and backed by experienced personnel and high-end technology.
Every project includes:
Don't leave site investigation for the last minute. The sooner you have reliable data, the smoother your construction process will go.
