Today was a good day for some exploratory drilling on an upcoming job. The purpose of the drilling is to test soils at depths of 50’ for us today. This is being done so we can safely temporarily shore up the house next to us during the excavation and part of house build. For the first 10’ an 18” sample will be taken every 2’6” to see how dense the by native ground is. After the first 10’ it will be checked every 5’ As they got closer to our max depth the hammering of the sample bit took a lot longer Meaning the ground was definitely getting harder Very cool to watch and learn.
