Some of the benefits of Sonic Drilling include:

  • True continuous sampling, providing nearly undisturbed continuous cores.
  • Recovery rates are higher with less sample disturbance than with conventional split-spoon.
  • Drilling, sampling, and well installation is faster compared to cable tool, hollow stem augers, or other rotary methods.
  • Core and case angled borings with great accuracy.
  • Ability to drill through cobbles, boulders, sand, and weathered bedrock.
  • Can advance casing to over 400 feet, construct wells and borings from 2 inches to 12 inches in diameter, and install barrier systems to a 36 inch diameter.
  • Best drilling method for designing and installing CMT wells.
  • Little or no investigation derived waste (IDW).
