Geopractica Contracting were engaged by Geosure to undertake core drilling and geotechnical site investigation works for a new bridge across the Tugela River in the KZN province.
The investigation required that core drilling be undertaken on each side of the river for the bridge abutments and in the river from a floating platform for pier foundation design. All drill positions involved very difficult access for setting up the machine.
