Core drilling Used in obtaining a core sample
A core drill is a drill specifically designed to remove a cylinder of material, much like a hole saw. The material left inside the drill bit is referred to as the core.
Core samples can provide a great deal of information about a site’s geological composition and history.
Odex Drilling Drilling option when formations are too dense or cobbly
A special hammer drill bit is designed to be used inside and at the bottom of steel casing so that the drill bit has a eccentric reamer below the steel casing. With this method the hammer pulverises the material below the casing and then blows it back through the casing to the top of the hole.
Reverse Circulation Drilling The drill cuttings are returned to surface inside the rods
RC drilling is similar to air core drilling, in that the drill cuttings are returned to surface inside the rods. The drilling mechanism is a pneumatic reciprocating piston known as a hammer driving a tungsten-steel drill bit. RC drilling utilizes much larger rigs, machinery and depths.
