Over-Water Drilling Rig

The recent aquisition of a modular barge system has enabled the development of an over-water drilling system. The barge is sectional and can be assembled to accomodate the specific drilling rig being used for the investigation in question. Once the rig is secured to the barge, drilling can proceed in the same way as on land. Temporary steel casing is advanced to the base of the water body and keyed into the sediment surface. Drilling through the lake/sea bed sediments and or bedrock by augering/cable percussion/rotary drilling etc. can then proceed in the normal manner with or without continued advancement of the casing.

Some recent pictures of this system in action....
