Geoprobe - Contaminated land site investigation
The Geoprobe direct push rig changed the game in Australias contaminated land investigations in the early 2000’s. The ability to take undisturbed soils samples with speed and minimal chance of cross contamination was truly a game changer. The massive torque of the specialist Geoprobe drilling rigs facilitated the use of large diameter hollow augers and installation of monitoring wells in unstable formations. Small and nimble with massive power, the Geoprobe rig remains the industry standard for all your environmental site assessments.

TESTIMONIALS
‘I have been using Legion Drilling regularly for the past 6 years and have found them to be a highly professional company with a strong team in the office and on the rigs, all very sensitive to the needs of a wide range of subsurface investigation challenges. They are often willing to offer new ideas and technologies to solve old problems. They also have an excellent range of shallow drilling rigs. In particular their sonic rigs are brilliant for coring and detailed geological characterisation, and they pack a lot of punch with a small footprint.’ -Ned Hamer.
