News

In March 2011 GSS won a tender for a Soil vapour survey(S.V.S ) along a 5km pipe line in Gibraltar. The pipe ran from the docks through the M.O.D base and into the town centre. The pipe line was surveyed & traced using Ground probing Radar (Straight line surveys), we then drilled 16mm diameter holes to a depth of 300mm along the pipe line route (approximately every 50 metres ) and a gas samples were taken. The contract was completed in 3 weeks, working days, nights & weekends.

In October 2010 we added Rotary drilling to our list of services. This addition means you can get most of your drilling requirements with just one phone call. With diminsions of 900mm widith , 3200 mm long and a clearance working height 3500mm. Capabile of drilling upto 40 metres deep it is suitable for smaller sites with restricted access.

In 2010 we continue to offer alternative solutions to site problems by the introduction of our new All-terrain (eight wheel driven) rig which can be used on sites that have previously not been suitable for tracked rigs.

In 2009 we added an electric powered rig for windowless sampling/dynamic probing which has been successfully used in supermarkets, airports and buildings where diesel powered rigs were not suitable due to contamination of foods, clothing etc. from exhaust fumes.

In March 2008 we added a concrete specialist division. This added the following services: Ring, Track & Floor sawing, Wall chasing and coring 25mm-450mm holes, in concrete brick tarmac etc.
