Hitting the new year running and on the 2021 highway as that sun rises. Looking forward to a great year helping our clients complete successful projects. Happy New Year to all our employees, clients, and vendors! : @weentle #newyear #2021 #drilling #lowbed #sunrise #earlybird #winter #northernbc #success

The holidays are right around the corner and this holiday season is likely to feel different from years past. As many of our clients are still working from home, helping to ‘flatten the curve’, the Geotech and Gregg team decided to adjust our annual client appreciation, to help charitable organizations that have undoubtedly felt economic impact throughout this year. In lieu of sending out our Holiday appreciation baskets, our team identified four charitable organizations to w...hich we donated over $10,000 on behalf of our 2020 clients.

Ol’ Saint Nick came by the offices this week and brought our team a Christmas treat! Just a little something to give back to our crews and office staff for another productive and safe year! This years’ gift includes a handy lunch cooler, insulated coffee cup and water bottle! Thanks to all our employees for putting in their all during this unprecedented year. Also, thanks for your modeling help @bheisler_ .... #holidays #thankyou #crews #success #yearend #merrychristmas #safetyfirst

In 2016, Geotech opened our branch in Delta, BC; recognizing the Lower Mainland as an opportunity for Geotech to offer our unique approach to drilling services. Heres a spotlight on that branch and the people and equipment that are making an impact in the Lower Mainland! https://lnkd.in/gvTfu4w... #geotechnicalengineering #geotechnical #drillingrig #vancouverbc #lowermainland #insitu #cpt #cone #environmental #siteinvestigation

Our coal army is excited to be back in the mountains of northeast British Columbia. Here the crews are completing some 6 air coring. Its almost magical how the crew can keep such a clean looking rig while exploring for this black metallurgical gold! : Cody Dalziel #metallurgy #coal #steel #mining #exploration #drilling #clean #machine #deploydrilldiscover

Rain, shine, heat, & sleet; the Tahltech Drilling crews are prepared to work in any conditions the Golden Triangle will throw at us. Our partnership company with TNDC has 7 drills currently turning in Northwest BC with a couple more getting ready to head up. Great season with a great client @skeenaresources. #exploration #drilling #coring #partnerships #gold #TSX:SKE #preciousmetals #core #drills

Nothing better on a Friday afternoon than a perfect core run in coal at 410 meters deep. Recovery like this with HQ3 in coal is quite a feat in BC. Great job team. #metallurgical #coal #mining #geotechnical #coring #drilling #sample #success @bcminex @the_pdac

Happy Canada Day everyone! The Geotech & Gregg team are PROUD to be Canadian and have the ability to work in such an amazing country. #ohcanada #canada #lucky #mapleleaf #thenorth

Beautiful day for a 5 ODEX geotechnical program at a rail site with our friends at @mcelhanney ... The crews are getting their Vitamin D fix today! #drilling #geotechnical #summervibes #fraste #beautifulbritishcolumbia #hardwork #sweat

No wonder our shop crew is so good at Tetris, look at these fantastic loads they send out. Summer is here which means heli-portable exploration is ready to hit the skies. Heres just one of MANY shipments heading to the Golden Triangle this summer. #gold #exploration #drilling #helicopter #flytime #trucking #loaded #tetris

Laying beads day and night to get ready for the summer season. Did you know all our drill rigs and fly equipment go through annual Non-Destructive Testing to ensure integrity. Keep up the good work Kenny and Jason, our welding machines!... #layingbeads #welding #drilling #steel #sparks #fabrication #weldaholics

The Geotech & Gregg Canada team is preparing for the next sonic / cpt combo job for a Yukon mine. Today we completed some test pushing with Greggs Eijkelkamp drill ncpt unit. Talk about a versatile machine! Once your sonic run is completed and you are ready to push, just track the CPT unit into place, clamp it in your jaws and away you go! This CPT unit converts any drill into a pushing machine. #CPT #Drilling #sonic #geotechnical #engineering #tailings #soils #greenmachine

Sunday Funday! All loaded up and ready to hit the road. The green machine has been going non-stop this year, crushing sonic jobs all over western Canada. Safe travels team! #sonic #greenmachine #drilling #terrasonic #geotechnical #coring #convoy #loaded

Beautiful day for a dip at the MK Bay Marina with the Gregg/ Geotech amphibious unit! https://www.facebook.com/mkbaymarina/videos/1134527203578329/?

Throwback Thursday to last years tight access site investigation within an operating mill. Whether your CPT project is under a building, inside a tank, down that narrow back alley or in a remote access project site, our technical services partner Gregg Canada has the solution. Gregg Canadas Royal Eijkelkamp Compact CPT Rig is small & portable, but dont let its size fool you, as this unit will deliver a 130 kN push force. Mounted on rubber tracks this portable CPT unit is h...ighly maneuverable. The reaction forces can be offset by connecting directly to the floor or by using its own four-point ground anchor system. #CPT #compact #siteinvestigation #tightaccess #track #geotechnical #conepenetration #eijkelkamp #structuralengineers #geotechnicalengineering #constructionengineering #civilconstruction

With some of this downtime our resident Picasso @geohockey has been able to give one of our track Fraste drills a fresh coat of paint. He also spruced up the guard for our Green Machine sonic drill. Not only will the crews be safe, but theyll look good while doing it! #fresh #paint #safety #guard #sonic #drilling #fraste #terrasonic #lookinggood

Safety always comes first. In todays world, we add another safety precaution, Social Distancing. Heres a shot from our kick-off meeting during our latest marine drill/cpt program. Being safe while discussing safety! We all need to work together to battle covid-19. The Geotech/ Gregg teams will continue to be a part of this battle while completing our essential services for Canadas infrastructure and mining systems. #safety #industry #socialdistancing #teamwork #infrastructure #mining #engineering #drilling #cpt

Sunday Funday! The marine barge is almost loaded up and ready to set sail. Being 15m by 52m this unit has more than enough room to hold both our Fraste Track drill and Gregg CPT truck.

Require precision in-situ measurement of undrained shear strength? We have the solution that is leading the way. Several years ago Gregg Canada invested in a new revolutionary all-digital down-hole in-situ field vane system produced in Holland by A.P. van den Berg, The CPT factory. This iCone Vane module provides you the data you need to assess undrained and remolded shear strength for the assessment of soft ground on your project sites. Whats the difference you ask?!?! ... The torque measurement and drive motor are positioned down hole immediately above rotating vane blades! With data collection at 0.1deg intervals throughout the test and real-time view of the progress at the top-side control screen impressed and where have you been all my life rise as favorites in the word cloud. Lets not only get you data, lets get you the best data! #iconevane #shearstrength #digital #future #technology #geotechnical #engineering #CPT #siteinvestigation #soils #tailings #technology

We are so proud to have Gregg Canada within the Geotech Group of Companies and wanted to highlight them this week! The Gregg Canada team continues to assist the essential service mining sector with data gathering at key infrastructure sites. Tailings evaluations using a staged approach of CPT profiling followed by detailed sampling and in-situ strength testing helps to maximize data gathering and efficiency. See how their industry-leading fully digital tools, including down-hole in-situ digital field vane capabilities, can help with the success of your projects today.

As we all do our best to practice social distancing we are sending this TBT out there. No better way to isolate than on our WMS3 marine barge completing nearshore geotechnical investigations. This video really shows how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful province. During this unprecedented time lets all work together to ensure we can enjoy these amazing views sooner than later! #worktogether #safety #socialdistancing #marine #nearshore #drilling #cpt #marine #barge #geotechnicalengineering
