Geotechnical Engineering Solutions for
All Types of Construction

Ensure the success and timely completion of your construction projects with Albion Drilling Group’s thorough site preparation services.

Drilling, blasting, and geotechnical investigations are critical to the success of new construction. They have different purposes, but they all serve to inform you of the viability of your site. They help answer questions about the soil’s strength and stability, and whether the ground can support the design, weight and purpose of the structure that you plan to build.

We drill for soil samples at depths that will determine the physical and chemical properties of the soil.

We remove rock faces to level the ground, make way for new infrastructure or remove a potential risk to humans, property and the environment.

We use geotechnical engineering principles to stabilise rock beds, secure embankments and harbour walls and design earthworks that will support the foundation of your proposed structure.

The applications of our services are numerous; we work with contractors on all kinds of projects, from public works to commercial
buildings to quarry blasting.
