Critical trenchless installations require fluid systems designed for actual ground conditions. How Blick uses geotechnical reports, formation samples, and site photos to build tailored fluid programmes.
The Challenge
Critical trenchless installations fail when fluid programmes are built on averages. Three ground-related problems require specific targeted solutions: reactive clay requiring swelling prevention, filtration loss requiring filter cake control, and insufficient cuttings suspension requiring gel strength adjustment.
The Approach
Blick requests geotechnical reports, formation samples, and site photographs before designing any fluid programme. We develop tailored solutions to address hole cleaning, filtration control, and pressure management specific to each project — not generic averages. This applies to HDD, piling, and tunnel boring operations.
The Outcome
Tailored programmes reduce bore instability, fluid loss events, and reactive on-site changes. Sending your geotech report before project start is the single highest-value action a driller can take.
