Ground Drilling Rigs: An Effective Solution for Borehole Drilling

Ground Drilling Rigs: An Effective Solution for Borehole Drilling

The ground drilling rig is a screw auger that rotates while simultaneously moving down the borehole. The rotational motion of the auger efficiently grinds and lifts soil to the surface. Key components include the auger, shaft, rod, and clamp, ensuring reliable and safe operation.

Advantages of Use

  • High Productivity: Thanks to screw drilling, the equipment allows for rapid penetration of large soil volumes, significantly reducing work time.
  • Precision: The ground drilling rig enables the creation of boreholes with specified diameters and depths, which is crucial for construction and geological purposes.
  • Cost-Effectiveness: Its low operational costs make it a viable choice for various projects.
  • Safety: The equipment minimizes the risk of borehole wall collapse, enhancing overall drilling safety.
  • Versatility: The ground drilling rig is successfully used for drilling in various soil types, including sandy, clayey, and loamy soils.

Types of Ground Drilling Rigs

Among the types of equipment presented are screw augers for loose soils, augers with additional supports for hard soils, and reverse circulation screw augers that use water or special solutions to remove drilled soil.

Wide Applications

The ground drilling rig finds extensive applications in various sectors:

  • Drilling Boreholes for Water Supply: Provides access to clean groundwater, which is especially relevant in areas with limited resources.
  • Geological Exploration: Allows for the investigation of geological layer structures, necessary for resource extraction and assessment.
  • Foundation Construction: Used for creating pile foundations, enhancing the stability of buildings.
  • Laying Engineering Communications: Facilitates the effective installation of pipelines and cable lines.
