Drilling

Drilling

Drilling for rock anchors, soil nails, micropiles, and drainage. We plan equipment and access around your ground conditions, installation requirements, and work windows.

Overview

Full-Range Drilling Capabilities

Precision drilling determines the performance of the entire stabilization system. The right drilling method ensures anchors and reinforcement reach competent bearing material, maintains hole stability in weak or fractured rock, maximizes bond strength for grouted systems, enables long horizontal drains to relieve groundwater, supports accurate logging, sampling, and QA/QC, and allows installation in environments where access is limited or dangerous. Without quality drilling, no rock bolt, soil nail, micropile, or anchor can perform to its engineered capacity.

Common applications include slope stabilization (rock bolts, dowels, nails), foundation repair and underpinning, retaining wall support (tiebacks, soldier pile anchors), drainage control for landslide remediation, tunnel support systems, highwall and mining stabilization, and geotechnical investigations and characterization.

We select drilling equipment and tooling for the geology, hole dimensions, and available access. The work can include steep-slope drilling, rope-access support, remote material handling, borehole monitoring, and coordination with grouting and shotcrete crews.

Share the site location, geotechnical information, specified hole depths and diameters, access restrictions, and schedule so we can review the drilling scope.

Questions

Drilling FAQ

We operate track-mounted, truck-mounted, and helicopter-portable drill rigs. Our fleet includes low-headroom equipment for confined spaces and limited-access wagon drills for steep terrain.
Yes, our equipment is designed for challenging terrain. We use spider drills on steep slopes, helicopter-portable rigs for remote sites, and compact equipment for low-headroom conditions like basements and tunnels.
Drilling depth depends on the application, ground conditions, hole diameter, and equipment access. Send the specified depths and available geotechnical information so we can assess the equipment and drilling method for your project.
We use inclinometers and downhole survey tools to verify hole alignment. Our operators are trained in precision drilling techniques, and we document every installation with detailed as-built records.
Yes, our crews handle the complete installation including drilling, reinforcement placement, and grouting. We operate our own grout plants and pumping equipment for integrated quality control.

"When it comes to heavy foundation anchoring and stabilization projects, these guys are superb. Although the majority of the company's jobs involve heavy civil work, my project required their skills and specialized equipment for a challenging residential cliffside application. After careful review and critique of our plans, as well as assuring that expectations were fully understood, the work began on time and was completed ahead of schedule with minimal trauma along the way. In all, the job required the installation of ten horizontal deep rock anchors, several vertical piles, and shotcrete encapsulation. I highly recommend Rock Supremacy's services and would definitely use them again."

Residential Slope Stabilization
"We engaged Rock Supremacy for a very challenging cliffside project that involved the stabilization and reinforcement of a retaining wall which ultimately required a total of ten drilled horizontal rock anchors, multiple vertical stabilization pilings and encapsulation with concrete structural reinforcement. Even though my residential project, as large as it was to me, was of a much smaller scale than the company often deals with, it approached the task with all of the consideration and professionalism I could hope for. Notably, they were not hesitant to take on a challenging terrain even with its limited access. From the outset, Corey Muir was very engaged in the project and with finding workable solutions. He was eager to explore alternative options for accomplishing the goals and worked diligently with my engineering consultants to tweak the design for a practical, affordable solution. Throughout the planning process, he maintained excellent communications with myself and our structural engineers. Corey was careful to make sure, prior to our final agreement, that all details were fully understood. The company began the project exactly when anticipated. The on-site crew, David, Nate and Jules proved to be the "A" team. They are very skilled and professional. I found them considerate, easy to interact with, and flexible with regard to change possibilities. The team showed careful concern for my property and all possible avoidance of collateral damage while completing a job that involved some very heavy equipment. When the concrete supplier was unduly delayed, they took it in stride and made the best of the situation. The job was actually finished a little ahead of schedule. Definitely a five star rating for this group, I would be happy to further discuss my experience with anyone contemplating the use of Rock Supremacy's services."
