2. Geoprofessions - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoprofessions

   Geotechnical engineers employ CoMET services during the earliest stages of a project, to oversee subsurface sampling procedures, such as drilling. Many of the CoMET services performed for construction projects are performed for environmental projects as well, but requirements tend to be less rigid because they involve fewer licensing and ...

3. Geotechnical engineering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geotechnical_engineering

   Geotechnical engineering, also known as geotechnics, is the branch of civil engineering concerned with the engineering behavior of earth materials. It uses the principles of soil mechanics and rock mechanics to solve its engineering problems.

4. Mining engineering - Wikipedia

   Surface gold mine with haul truck in foreground, in Kalgoorlie, Australia. Mining in the engineering discipline is the extraction of minerals from the ground. Mining engineering is associated with many other disciplines, such as mineral processing, exploration, excavation, geology, metallurgy, geotechnical engineering and surveying.

5. Offshore geotechnical engineering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offshore_geotechnical...

   Geotechnical surveys involve a combination of sampling, drilling, in situ testing as well as laboratory soil testing that is conducted offshore and, with samples, onshore. They serve to ground truth the results of the geophysical investigations; they also provide a detailed account of the seabed stratigraphy and soil engineering properties. [23]

6. Geological engineering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geological_engineering

   Geological engineers plan, design, and implement geotechnical, geological, geophysical, hydrogeological, and environmental data acquisition. This ranges from manual ground-based methods to deep drilling, to geochemical sampling, to advanced geophysical techniques and satellite surveying. [3]

7. Drilling fluid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drilling_fluid

   In geotechnical engineering, drilling fluid, also known as drilling mud, is used to aid the drilling of boreholes into the earth. Used while drilling oil and natural gas wells and on exploration drilling rigs , drilling fluids are also used for much simpler boreholes, such as water wells .
