At CAM, our ability to adapt and solve our customers’ most challenging drilling projects is key to helping you achieve your goals. No matter the scale or complexity level, we deliver innovative, savvy solutions that work. From routine drilling to challenges involving diverse geologies, we offer a full range of drilling services and stand ready to assist with any construction project.
Cottle’s Asphalt Maintenance Inc. was one of the first drilling contractors in the state to obtain a “down-the-hole” hammer drill. This is not an auger, but an EXTREMELY powerful hardened drill. With this equipment, our crews can effectively burrow through some of the hardest minerals, rocks, and solid bedrock, including quartz and granite. If you’ve been struggling, contact us immediately. While your team might take three weeks or more in an attempt to tunnel through the toughest substrates and barely notice a difference, we can, for example, typically drill out a 30” diameter hole straight through eight feet of solid bedrock and mineral veins in just 1.5 days!
Cottle’s Asphalt Maintenance Inc. supports deep excavation projects by helping work crews avoid construction mishaps with a full range of custom earth shoring systems. As professional shoring contractors, we have some of the best shoring engineers, tools, and equipment to build sturdy structures that help resist earth movement. Some of the options we provide include those listed below.
Shoring walls are constructed of H-Beams and pre-cast concrete panels. By pre-drilling, vibrating, or driving the steel beams into the earth, we create a strong foundation and complete the wall with concrete-formed panels.
Sheet piles are installed similarly to H-piles by driving U or Z steel sections into the earth with a Vibro-hammer. In some cases, we may weld the steel to help ensure shoring integrity in deeper applications. For excavation applications alongside waterways and bodies of water, we install sheet piles to help isolate the excavation from adjacent water intrusion.
In contrast to tight-driven sheeting and “build-in-place” shoring, Slide Rail pit shoring enables efficient installation with a “dig and push” method to help shore up open trench excavations at risk of trench collapse and cave-in. This system may be ideal for maximum versatility when crossing unknown underground obstacles and utility crossings, and helping to secure adjacent personnel and structures.
Although trench boxes (also known as Tap Boxes, Manhole Boxes, and Sewer Boxes) are not designed to improve structural strength or help prevent collapse, trench shields can help increase the safety (and therefore, productivity) of workers in and near foundation excavations. Trench boxes offer utility while digging, drilling, working on underground wiring, utility, pipe installation and repair, and similar excavation projects. We construct the box with two steel or aluminum shields to line the trench wall and then brace it with perpendicular beams. These are welded in place for stability.
Cottle’s Asphalt Maintenance Inc. builds temporary and permanent shoring systems that improve the safety and efficiency of our client’s projects. No matter how big or small your construction project is, Cottle’s is at your service. As a recognized industry leader, we work closely with our clients and focus on building mutually strong, beneficial relationships. We apply extensive field experience and utilize the benefits of advanced shoring technology to overcome challenges together. With over 40 years of experience and a commitment to safety, efficiency, and customer care, CAM is the team to trust for all your drilling and shoring needs. Call us at (814) 652-9129.
