Types of Drilling Rigs

by

Drilling rigs are at the foundation of every mining operation, tunnel, water well, and major construction project. Used to penetrate the Earth’s surface, there are various drilling rigs available to suit any specific environmental need.

Most drill rigs and associated equipment are portable, to some degree. They may be one man operations or require an entire crew with heavy equipment to manage. Some drilling rigs can be utilized in multiple applications through the ability to change drilling heads, which bore holes from 4 inches to 24 inches in diameter.

A drilling rig is classified by several attributes.

  • Power sources may be mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, or pneumatic.
  • Height, measured by the number of pipe lengths that can stand in the derrick when changing bits, is referred to as single-, double-, triple- or quadri- stand.
  • Drilling methods include push drilling, where no rotation occurs, rotary table drilling, top drive rotation, sonic, and percussive.
  • Derrick position may be vertical or at a 45-degree slant.

The type of drill rig required for a specific job will be based on the reason for drilling, the type of subsurface being drilled, and the scope of the operation at hand, from deep earth core samples to massive bridge pilings.

  • Augers employ a helical screw with a bladed bit to drill into sub-surface soils. The debris “rides the flights” out of the hole as the auger drills deeper. The stem may be solid or hollow to allow concrete grout to be pumped into the hole, creating a cast piling that will support heavy loads in weak soil.
  • Percussion Rotary Air Blast (RAB) drilling is primarily used for mineral exploration. Also known as down-the-hole drilling, this method employs a pneumatic hammer with tungsten “teeth” that chew away the rock surface as the debris is blown up and out through the excess space surrounding the rod.
  • Air Core drilling is very similar to RAB drilling, but is used in softer soils and, because it has a central evacuation tube to move debris out of the hole, more accurate soil samplings may be taken.
  • Cable tool drill rigs are used to drill water wells in bedrock aquifers. A cable raises, turns, and drops a hammer, pulverizing the soil in the hole. The debris is then mucked out by a “bailer”, a bucket with a trapdoor bottom, that scoops out the overburden. The hammer is then re-employed and the process repeats.
  • Direct push drilling is similar to cable tool drilling except the hammer does not rotate. It is used for drilling into in very soft soils.

The hallmarks of a good drilling company, as well as a good drill rig are reliability, versatility, and affordability. Your supplier should be able to provide all tools, equipment, service, and instruction to ensure your best success.

State of the Art Geothermal Drill Rigging Technology

by

Geothermal energy is becoming an ever more popular alternative to traditional energy sources. That is why companies such as Gill Rock Drill company are ensuring that consumers have access to the many rigs and drilling equipment necessary to integrate such a system into their own home or business. The benefits of using this state of the art rigging technology to implement a heating and cooling system are as follows:
  • Environmentally Friendly
  • Consistent Energy
  • Provides Heating And Cooling
  • Economically Viable

Environmentally Friendly

Geothermal energy produces zero carbon emissions. By using this rigging system to implement a system of your own, you can be a part of the population which is actively helping to make the air and water around us cleaner each day. This can be achieved all without lifting a finger. We are happy to do all of the work for you. We work to minimize any disturbances to your property when drilling and thus when the project is done, you won’t even know that we were there.

Consistent Energy

By using this type of rig, it is very predictable the amount of energy that can be extracted from the ground beneath you. This means that you can accurately have your system designed to meet all of your energy needs and rely far less on traditional power sources.

Provides Heating And Cooling

What many people fail to realize about these systems are that they are not just for heating. They act as wonderful cooling systems as well. In the winter, warmer air is brought up from the ground and used in a building as heat. In the summer, this same heat pump works in reverse to get the warm air out of your house and replace it with much cooler air from the ground. This is possible through this drilling technology and the relatively constant underground temperature year round.

Economically Viable

We work to minimize costs to the consumer both when conducting the actual drilling process and when accounting for the reduced energy bills in the future. Because the fuel of your system is now seen. It is easy to see how this process will eventually pay for itself over time thanks to this state of the art drill rigging technology.

If you are in need of a geothermal rig or rigging accessories, then be sure to look further into Gill Rock Drill Company for everything that you’ll ever need.
