Geotechnical Drilling
Before any large-scale construction project can begin, it’s vital that a thorough investigation is carried out to assess site for ground conditions. This is done a process called geotechnical drilling.
Geotechnical drilling is used for many purposes, including scientific research, but mainly, it’s used to assist the construction industry as an important part of initial project planning.
We offer a comprehensive range of geotechnical drilling services to ensure you can find a source and start using it. Our services include:

Slope Stabilisation
If you're working on sloped land, there's a lot to consider. Slopes are prone to ground movement, and any stress on them, such as construction, can lead to trouble if the land is not prepared and reinforced. PRJ specialises in all aspects of slope stabilisation and will ensure the safety of your project. So whether you're building a structure on a steep incline or cutting through hills to construct a road, contact PRJ to control erosion and secure your site.
Rockfall Management
If you're building at the foot of a slope, you need reinforcements to prevent rockfall, which poses a significant threat to your worksite or finished construction. PRJ Drilling PTY LTD can install a range of supports to protect people and infrastructure from rockfall. Our services include:
Rockfall netting: a system of wire netting and cables that fits over the surface of the slope.
Rockfall fencing: metal fencing placed at the foot of a slope to block rocks from reaching the area below.
