Rock Coring Services
Wells Geotech provides professional rock coring services to support geotechnical, environmental, and infrastructure investigations. Rock coring allows for the collection of continuous, high-quality rock samples that provide critical insight into subsurface conditions, material strength, and rock mass characteristics.
Our rock coring services are commonly used to evaluate bedrock conditions for foundations, roadway and bridge design, slope stability analysis, and deep subsurface exploration. By obtaining intact core samples, engineers and project teams can assess rock quality, fractures, weathering, and structural features that influence design and construction decisions.
Wells Geotech utilizes specialized drilling equipment and experienced drilling crews to produce accurate, well-documented core samples while maintaining borehole integrity and minimizing disturbance. Core samples are carefully handled, logged, and preserved to support laboratory testing, visual inspection, and engineering analysis.
Applications Include:
Bedrock evaluation for foundations and structures
Transportation and infrastructure investigations
Rock quality designation (RQD) and fracture analysis
Subsurface characterization for design and construction
Support for geotechnical and environmental studies
