Terratest invested in Non-Destructive Digging Units in 2009 to aid clients and drill crews in safely preparing boreholes. The units employ high pressure air and water to dislodge the soil while a vacuum simultaneously extracts cuttings into 205 litre drums. 

​

The Non-Destructive Digging methodology provides a safe alternative to hand-augering or drilling, without the risk to underground utilities. This method produces considerable savings in time and, most importantly, greatly reduces the chance of exposing the drill crews and clients to underground services.
