Advanced Drilling Rigs for Soil and Ground Testing Applications

Explore innovative, high-performance drilling rigs from Soil Ground Testing built for reliable, efficient subsurface investigation.

Engineered Precision for Deep Subsurface Exploration

Drilling rigs are essential tools in geotechnical engineering, environmental sampling, construction planning, and mineral exploration. These robust systems are used to bore into the earth and collect subsurface samples, providing critical data on soil composition, structure, and environmental conditions. Whether used for shallow soil sampling or deep coring, drilling rigs must offer precision, adaptability, and consistent performance under varied terrains and conditions.

Soil Ground Testing has rapidly grown into a leading B2B provider of drilling technologies across North America. Headquartered in Los Angeles, CA, we combine innovative system design, rigorous quality assurance, and expert-driven support to deliver top-tier solutions that meet evolving industry needs. Our drilling rigs are backed by years of research, development, and field-tested reliability—enabling businesses to unlock more efficient workflows and accurate data acquisition across sectors.
