Nothing is as discouraging as becoming “stuck in the hole”, yet is it not uncommon in drilling. While there are many ways you can be stuck in the hole, they all have the potential to stall operations and result in lost productivity.

Abrasiveness is a ground condition that can cause headaches among many drillers. It can be difficult to drill through when present in any hardness of ground.

While underground drilling is similar to surface drilling, there are still important differences. Our underground solution includes products that offer optimum performance in underground conditions.

Drill holes can be very unpredictable in the path that they take, so drillers often have to deal with hole deviation. Drill hole deviation is when the hole ends up going in a direction other than the chosen trajectory. The installation of the wedge is done easily in a few steps.

Getting the longest life possible for your core matrix is a key consideration if you want to run a productive and profitable drilling operation. Changing a drill bit takes time especially the farther down the hole it is, and the time spent replacing a bit is not productive.

A major challenge for any driller is trying to drill with flowing sands. The term flowing sands refers to a mixture of fine sand and water that infiltrates drilling equipment. This problem often arises when using hollow stem augers to perform SPT tests.

In most geotechnical and environmental drilling, augers are used to drill in the majority of projects. However, the need still arises to perform core sampling for certain geotechnical projects, usually when the presence of bedrock needs to be confirmed. An auger or split spoon will not be able to enter the bedrock so drillers have to use core sampling methods to be able to penetrate and obtain a core sample.
