Our Services

Albion Drilling Group focuses on two critical stages in construction: site investigation and site preparation

Harmony between soil composition and bedrock strength on one hand and foundation design on the other is vital. A contractor worth his salt knows better than to design a structure while blind to the surrounding landscape and the nature of the ground on which the project will stand. We fill that information gap with accurate and reliable data so that your designers and engineers can move forward with confidence.

Complimentary Services

Drilling and blasting are just part of the complex process of preparing a site for any construction. We believe that we could do a better job of preparing the topsoil if we also have a deep understanding of geotechnical engineering.

So we welcomed geotechnical engineers and subsurface experts into our company. Today, the complementary nature of our services has you covered on all fronts, from soil analysis to ground preparation. You can be confident that any work we do on the surface will hold ground.

Drilling and Blasting

We are one of the foremost drilling and blasting specialists in the UK and Ireland. It is a reputation built on over three decades of specialised civil engineering work. The projects we handle range from small-scale(e.g., slope stabilisation for embankment constructions) to major public infrastructure contracts (e.g., harbours, highways, tunnels, dams).

Albion Drilling Group is most known, however, for our expertise in close-proximity blasting. Our services might be more common in quarrying and mining, but we also provide them to contractors and property developers with projects in the city centres.

  • Expert management of explosives and pressurised gas
  • Safe drilling and blasting
  • Precise excavations
  • Proper containment of blast debris

Geotechnical Services

Our geotechnical services reinforced our legacy as a premier drilling and blasting specialist in the UK. We supplement surface-level observations with geotechnical investigations, and our findings inform our plans for drilling and blasting.

We calculate every drill, every detonation with precision because we aim for optimal excavations. At the same time, we want to keep the impact on the immediate environment minimal.

So after each successful excavation, we stabilise the remaining rock face with ground anchors, soil nails, and other earthworks. Our geotechnical engineers will also advise you on the design for the foundation of your proposed structure.
