Core Drilling Training: Master the Most Technical Ground Investigation Method

After completing this core drilling training course, you will gain a thorough understanding of the specific characteristics of this highly technical ground investigation method. Core drilling is widely recognised as one of the most precise drilling techniques, as the extracted core must be perfectly formed to allow accurate analysis of the soils and rocks encountered.

This training focuses on achieving high-quality cores, which are essential for reliable geotechnical, environmental and engineering studies.

Understanding the Fundamentals of Core Drilling

The core drilling training course provides a comprehensive overview of the principles and applications of this drilling method in the field. You will learn why core drilling is essential for detailed subsurface investigations and how it supports informed decision-making in construction and infrastructure projects.

Special attention is given to the importance of preserving the integrity of the core, ensuring it accurately represents the geological layers crossed during drilling operations.

Equipment, Parameters and Tool Selection in Core Drilling

During the training, you will become familiar with the different types of core barrels used in core drilling and their specific applications. The course explains the key drilling parameters, including rotation speed, feed pressure and flushing systems, and how they affect core quality.

You will also learn how to select the appropriate drilling crown based on soil and rock types, helping to optimise drilling performance while minimising core loss or damage.

Practical Application and Drill Rig Adjustment

A strong practical component is included in the core drilling training. You will apply your theoretical knowledge on site by carrying out core drilling operations under real working conditions. The course teaches you how to correctly adjust the drill rig, monitor drilling parameters and safely extract a core while maintaining optimal quality standards.

This hands-on approach ensures you develop confidence, precision and autonomy when performing core drilling tasks in professional environments.

Essential Training for High-Quality Core Drilling Operations

By completing this core drilling training, you will acquire strong technical and practical skills required to carry out reliable and accurate core drilling operations. You will be able to contribute effectively to high-quality soil and rock investigations, supporting precise analysis and sound engineering decisions.

This training is a valuable asset for professionals seeking to master a demanding and specialised drilling technique.
