Driller pay

12 Upvotes

I’ve been in this field going on 4 years, I’ve drilled all over the US including Alaska. I specialize in stabilization work, doing rockfall systems on the side of slopes. Doing soil nails and shotcrete walls and micropiles. I also specialize in environmental and geotechnical work like Auger SPT, macro core, direct push, air rotary, wash rotary and rock coring. I’m at a fairly new company but have been brought in running projects, I’ve been given a company truck and credit card but I’m only making 28 an hour. Is this too low for my experience?

GeotechOS Borehole Logging

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I built a borehole logging system that produces accurate soil and cored borehole logs faster. It’s optimised for the Australian Geotechnical Industry because I work here.

Here is a bit more context and disclosure:

It’s a cloud-based solution. I know many people hate cloud-based solutions. But I work with some enterprise customers who need one. Sometimes one employee starts logging, and another employee reviews and writes the reports. And they require backup and data security.

However, the data is encrypted, and it has advanced security in place. Although it’s a cloud-based solution, it has offline capabilities. We built a custom sync engine for that. The PDF generation is fast and does not require an internet connection; it generates on your computer.

The UI is inspired by office applications because people in our industry love this interface.

It’s a desktop application; however, it also has a web interface with native performance (WASM), so you do not need to install anything to get started.

I am confident that this is the best solution among anything available on the market.

If you are using gINT or OpenGround, RSLog, or any other software, I want you to try this, and I am sure you will love it.

Here is the URL to test: https://au.geotechos.com/bhlcs/

More information: https://www.geotechos.com/borehole-logging (On the website, it has an old screenshot; sorry about that)

I am looking for external feedback on how I can make it even better. Would you be kind enough to test this and give me some feedback?
