geodrilling
Geodrilling refers to the process of drilling boreholes into the Earth’s surface for various scientific, industrial, or environmental purposes. This technique is widely used in geology, hydrology, and engineering to study subsurface conditions, extract resources, or monitor groundwater and soil quality. Unlike conventional drilling methods, geodrilling often focuses on smaller-diameter holes, typically ranging from a few centimeters to tens of centimeters, allowing for precise sampling and minimal ground disturbance.
The primary applications of geodrilling include environmental site assessments, where soil and groundwater contamination are investigated;
Common drilling techniques used in geodrilling include rotary drilling, percussion drilling, and auger drilling. Rotary drilling,
Safety and environmental considerations are critical in geodrilling. Proper casing and sealing of boreholes prevent contamination
