Whether you are to plan and map out the perfect position for water well or wish to undertake subsurface investigations; maintaining a borehole log is deemed the ideal solution.

This write-up elucidates the many perks of borehole logging.

1. It offers you a stream of data perpetually as opposed to opting for a sampling method that could be somewhat unreliable.

3. You can proceed to conduct a comprehensive analysis of gathered data both vertically and horizontally from the boreholes.
4. It makes a worthy addition to the existing findings by notable geologists as well as the records created by on-site drillers.
5. This is often deemed an integral part of geotechnical initiatives in addition to environment projects and related exploration initiatives.
6. A lot of experts suggest borehole logging as the ideal way to collect information when all other methods of attaining data fail. 

If your team must undertake borehole logging on your next project, you may want to lease or source the right equipment for the job. However, do remember to do so after conducting extensive research on the manufacturers or distributers to make a safe purchase.
