7 Common Applications for Hole Drilling
Here are seven of the most common instances when hole drilling is necessary.
Low-Clearance Hole Drilling
Most hole drilling happens in wide open spaces where there’s plenty of room above and around the drilling site. However, although less common, there are plenty of instances when holes need to get drilled in low-clearance sites. This includes beneath bridges, overpasses, and in other tight spaces. Low-clearance drilling is more difficult than other forms of hole drilling and requires special equipment that not all excavation companies have.
Concrete Hole Drilling
Drilling holes into concrete isn’t just dirty and noisy, it’s also extremely difficult and requires special equipment. As such, concrete drilling is a task that should be left to experienced professionals with the right tools for the job.
Pier Hole Drilling
Anytime you’re constructing a house or building on an elevated foundation, pier drilling is a valuable commodity. Pier drilling is a precise science that takes years of training and experience to perfect. Contact us to learn more about our pier drilling services at El Paso Drilling.
Rock Hole Drilling
El Paso is home to some of the hardest and rockiest soil in the southwest. Sandstone, granite, bedrock, dry rock, and more are all found in our soil. Ordinary drills won’t be enough to penetrate these materials, and you’ll require special rock drills if you don’t want your construction project to suddenly stop.
Cluster Hole Drilling
Cluster hole drilling is another specialized form requiring specific tools and techniques. El Paso Drilling has cluster drills capable of drilling holes of all shapes, sizes, and depths to meet your needs.
Micropile Hole Drilling
Some El Paso construction projects require a deeper or stronger foundation than others. In these instances, you’ll likely need micropiles to hold your project together. However, micropiles require special drilling techniques and tools in order to be done properly and to reach the desired depths. We can dig our micropiles up to 200 feet beneath the earth’s surface and make them capable of supporting up to 200 tons.
Utility Hole Drilling
Because of how cost-effective and safe it is to put utilities underground, it’s becoming a very common practice in El Paso and the surrounding area. Whether you’re digging utilities for phone, internet, or television lines, gas, water, or electrical lines, utility hole drilling will be necessary. Safe and quality utility hole drilling will protect your utilities from freezing temperatures, burrowing animals, and other potential hazards.
