Drilling Rigs
A.S.James owns, maintains and operates seven drill rigs (in total) to facilitate geotechnical and environmental investigations – critical machinery to penetrate into the earth and extract core geological formations.
Of the seven, five of which that are mounted drilling rigs equipped with facilities for NMLC diamond core drilling, wash boring and continuous flight augering. The additional two being smaller drilling rigs equipped for tighter access sites for site classifications, renovations, extensions, steep sites, wide access and difficulties.
Our plant and equipment can perform auger drilling in tight areas, or inside buildings, and can even meet specific needs for barge-mounted drilling locations over water.
