How to choose a right drilling rig?
You need a drilling rig for various purposes. For example, drill a well to obtain natural resources (water, oil, geothermal energy, etc.) to build a foundation, drill a hole in the mine, and take samples from the ground.
It is necessary to determine the purpose of the rig and the topography of the main operation. According to the terrain, you can choose different types of drilling rigs: rotary drilling rigs, percussion drilling rigs, downhole drilling machines, top hammer drilling rigs (with high hammer), etc.
In order to make the best choice, it is important to determine whether the rig is used for core business or occasional use, especially if you are using the latest technology or a rig that has been available for decades.
Security, reliability, and ease of use are also important factors that need to be considered, and there is a direct connection between them. According to the rig manufacturer’s recommendations, the use of a reliable and easy-to-operate rig can improve user safety.
It is also very important to define the type of movement required for the rig. There are crawler-type automatic drilling rigs and vehicle-mounted or trailer-mounted drilling rigs, which need to be powered by generators or trucks that carry them.
Once the type of drilling rig required is determined, the size of the required drilling rig can be calculated based on the diameter and depth of the hole. Contact Us Email: admin@ygdrillequipment.com
When do you need a drilling machine?
Many jobs require drilling, such as:
Drilling: used to obtain groundwater or oil.
Geothermal drilling: obtaining and extracting geothermal energy.
Pile driver supporting buildings on unstable ground: diameter up to 2000 mm and depth up to 70 meters.
Micro-pile drilling rigs, especially those used to strengthen drilling of existing structures: diameter between 150 and 200 mm, depth within 30 meters.
Blasting rig in a quarry.
Continuous rotation uses drill cuttings driven by a YG rotary drill rig to maintain the borehole wall.
Drilling is usually done vertically, but can also be horizontal or directional, for example for anchoring. WhatsApp: +86 138 3856 5351
Which type of drilling rig should you choose?
There are three main types of drilling rigs: automatic crawler type and vehicle-mounted or trailer type.
If you need to move at low speed on uneven places or very soft ground, you can choose a crawler rig. The stability of the rig depends on the surface area of the track. Therefore, the wider the crawler, the more stable the drilling rig. But when the track is too wide, it will wear out faster and damage the ground when moving, especially when turning. The crawler drilling rig has a walking speed of about 4km/h, so it is more suitable for operations that require little walking.
Truck-mounted or trailer-mounted drilling rigs are not autonomous in terms of mobility or energy. These energy sources may come from transport trucks or independent generators. However, the cost of this rig is much lower than that of a crawler rig. Click here for more information.
