Bryan L. Nydoske, operations manager for Cascade Drilling, started working on a “helicopter” core drill in 1978. The project was the Sultan Basin Dam and Powerhouse Project in the Cascade Mountains of Washington State. He has been working in the industry since. His experience includes dam projects across the U.S., South America and Puerto Rico, mineral exploration in many remote locations, flooded reverse for large production wells and hundreds of environmental projects employing many diverse drilling methodologies.
When stuck between a rock and a hard place, I was determined to come up with a solution to penetrate very coarse alluvial gravels, where traditional split spoon and Shelby-tube sampling methods could not.
