Adam continues to develop Geocore’s offering, seeking new technology and innovation to improve the services delivered by the company. Most recently this has included the purchase of three Commachio MC900GT Geothermal Rigs – Geocore was the first company in the UK to use this cutting-edge technology. These rigs brought with them outstanding new levels of performance in the commercial closed-loop geothermal market.
Geocore’s reputation continues to grow – recently Geocore’s specialist drilling team visited India to deliver a geotechnical drilling project in Bangalore. Working in the incredible heat and humidity for several months.
