BOXES OF CORING
Core-boxes – reliable sample storage and transport
At Les Bois G.L.A., we know that the quality of your drilling results also depends on the condition in which your cores are transported and stored. Our core drilling boxes — robust, reliable and designed to last — are designed to preserve the integrity of your samples from site to the laboratory.
Why choose our core-boxes
Optimal protection carrots
Our boxes hold your samples firmly in place, without risk of movement, contamination or breakage, which is essential to ensure the validity of geotechnical or mineral analyses.
Mobility and ergonomics
Designed to be lightweight, easy to transport and handle, they greatly facilitate transport between the drilling site and the analysis or storage location.
Stackability and optimization space
Thanks to a tailored design, our boxes can be stacked stably, simplifying storage and reducing clutter — a crucial advantage when you have hundreds of meters of core to manage.
Durability and longevity
Made with materials chosen to resist humidity, temperature variations and wear, our boxes greatly outperform traditional wooden or cardboard boxes, ensuring a good long-term cost/performance ratio.
Technical characteristics
Depending on your needs, our core boxes can be adapted or equipped with:
Removable or flip lids for easy access to carrots and secure locking.
Internal divisions and spacers to block samples and prevent movement during transport.
Identification/marking spaces to facilitate core location (depth, survey number, etc.)
Varied length or dimension options depending on drilling standards (useful length, core diameter, etc.)
BQ / BQTK
Versatile format, very common for intermediate exploration drilling. Excellent volume/weight ratio.
NQ
The most used format in the industry. Ideal for the majority of mining exploration campaigns thanks to its large capacity and stability.
HQ
Perfect for more demanding terrains, offering a larger core and better sample quality.
Other models available:
AQ / AQTK , NQ2, PQ
These models are available with:
1, 2, 3 or 4 compartments, depending on length
carrot and working method
Internal dividers adapted to each diameter
Removable or hinged lids
(according to your need)
Marking areas for depths, hole identification, sequence, etc.
A thoughtful design for the field
Regardless of the model chosen, our boxes are built to meet the realities of drilling: stackable, robust, easy to handle with or without gloves, and capable of withstanding bad weather and repetitive transport.
Our commitments
Quality and rigor
Each box is manufactured according to demanding standards to ensure solidity, consistency and safety of the samples.
Adaptability
We offer standard boxes and can, on request, adapt them to your specifications (size, type of lid, cutout, marking, etc.).
Service personalized
Our expertise in wood processing and raw materials management allows us to support you, from initial requirements to final delivery, with flexibility and professionalism.
For what type of projects?
Our core-boxes are ideally suited to:
Geotechnical, mining or environmental exploration drilling
Storage and transport of soil, rock or diamond core samples
Field projects requiring robustness and reliability (climate, frequent handling, long duration)
