In 2015, partners of the MAREC consortium carried out a site investigation on a beach in Chile. Royal Eijkelkamp was responsible for drilling and sampling.
Project Description
- A drilling campaign of 3 weeks on a beach site in Chile with 30 holes up to 15 m depth.
- Whilst drilling, undisturbed samples have been taken for laboratory testing and in-situ SPT testing has been performed every 1.5 m.
- For a good core recovery and minimizing disturbance of the samples, drilling has been done by Eijkelkamp SonicSampDrill.
- Post drilling, monitoring wells have been installed. PVC liner with a sand screen at the bottom and digital Diver water level logger measurements are done automatically.
- Geotechnical and hydrogeological study has been made by the combined forces of the MAREC Consortium of the outcome of the above mentioned drilling campaign.
