- Permeability
- Rock Stress
- Monitoring
IPI packers are the tool of choice for geotechnical investigations such as permeability, rock stress, and grouting feasibility. Built to be compatible with the most common borehole sizes in the industry, IPI packer systems reflect attention to detail, such as our flush-diameter straddle design that minimizes risk of hanging up in the hole. With packer technology capable of 150 OC or 15,000 psi (not concurrent) IPI equipment is also very suited for geothermal testing projects. Leading consultants and drilling companies around the world rely on IPI for solutions:
