New in our range: R/C drilling system

Reverse Circulation Drilling System
D 139.7 mm – D 406 mm (5-1/2” – 16”)
We have now expanded our range with R/C drilling systems
in collaboration with our fantastic supplier Sysbohr.

Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling is a drilling method, mostly
associated with mining and exploration, where it is used to
quickly and economically obtain mineral uncontaminated
samples from the ground.

In foundation drilling applications, Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling
can offer the same significant advantages as in mineral exploration.

This method is characterised by the use of dual-wall drill pipes
to deliver compressed air down the outer casing and carry cuttings
back up to surface through the inner rod.

Many advantages of Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling in mineral
exploration also apply to foundation drilling, including: high-quality
sample collection; fast drilling rates; and minimal water usage;
are especially valuable for construction projects.

Efficiency, adaptability to the most varied of ground conditions,
including unstable ground, as well as the minimal environmental
impact make RC drilling a preferred option in foundation works,
site investigations, and urban construction projects where
environmental impact is crucial:

With Sysbohr’s tool conversion kits, any drill rig, equipped
for Kelly drilling, or conventional drilling, can be easily
converted to RC drilling economically.

Drill rig utilisation is increased, putting a new drilling
methodology into the field with the existing drill fleet,
at a fraction of the cost of aquiring a dedicated new machine.
