Italian term or phrase: sondaggio a rotazione e carotaggio continuo
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?

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

Asker: Hi, actually 51m is the chainage, not the depth.
