Crux Subsurface, Inc.
Crux provides drilling services to the
geotechnical industry. Specializing in difficult logistics drilling programs,
Crux provides innovative technology and service to complete the most challenging projects.
Founded in the geotechnical exploration industry, Crux has grown to be a
leader in exploration drilling for engineering design projects where access
sample recovery and geotechnical instrumentation installations are critical.
Crux utilizes custom designed and manufactured drills from our in-house
fabrication facility to access and run a variety of down-hole-tools suitable
for each subsurface environment. Crux provides data acquisition using Crux
Oriented Borehole Logging services for insitu data collection via a high
resolution camera and software system.
Crux has taken our custom built drills and techniques and applied them to the
geotechnical construction industry. Crux provides pre-tunnel excavation
exploration and stabilization for tunneling contractors to slope and
foundation stabilization for developers.

COBL - Crux Oriented Borehole Logging
The COBL system provides a continuous, detailed and oriented color image of the borehole wall using an optical probe or data can be acquired using an acoustic probe. Subsequent interpretation and analysis of the image provides strike/dip information of all identified planar features, including bedding, fractures and faults.
Engineering
Crux provides a team of in house engineers and consulting engineering services in support of design build projects. Crux is a leading engineer in the design and use of micropile foundations for electrical transmission line projects where access and environmental restrictions limit conventional foundation construction. Through our engineering services, Crux can provide value engineering to our clients providing an economical and constructible solution to challenging projects.
