Italian term

sondaggio a rotazione e carotaggio continuo

Italian to English Science Geology surveying
This is from a survey report.

" .. è stato eseguito un sondaggio a rotazione e carotaggio continuo in corrispondenza del metro 51 (asse x) ..

A very similar question is already in the glossary, but without the "a rotazione" and wirh "e carotaggio"

I'm wondering if thisd is the same thing or of there is a slight difference. The "e carotaggio" part makes me think it might be 2 processes.

Suggestions?

continuous core boring

The "a rotazione" part is just to distinguish it from ways of obtaining samples which don't involve drilling, with a bucket or something.

I think it is referring to augered drilling. See the links.

rotary drilling and continuous sampling

or 'with continuous sampling' may be better

I think it's saying that rotary drilling was carried out and there was continuous sampling at 51m i.e. not during the whole drilling process.

Ah ok, then my original answer stands.
Note from asker:
Hi, actually 51m is the chainage, not the depth.
