sonic drilling.
Stratacore Drilling offer state of the art sonic drilling applications for both the geotechnical and mining sectors. Our sonic rigs offer cutting edge technology that is designed to exceed industry safety standards whilst increasing productivity and decreasing local environmental impact.
Sonic drilling uses high frequency resonant technology. Eccentrics within the drill head generate resonant energy up to the frequency of 150 Hz, which is transferred down the drill string to the bit face. Making it possible to cut through the hardest materials often found in stockpiles and landfill sites.
Our sonic Services:
- Mine & Tailings Investigations
- Tailings Storage Facilities
- Mineral Exploration
- Geotechnical & Environmental Drilling and Sampling
- Landfill Drilling & Waste Dumps
- Bulk Sampling (7-inch sampler, 8-inch casing)
- Water Well
sonic drilling
Advantages.
- Cleanliness
Reducing up to 70% of waste compared to conventional drilling applications and providing an almost undisturbed sample.
- Performance
Increased production over conventional overburden sampling and drilling techniques that simply cannot be beaten while providing clients a quicker return on investment.
- Superior Sample Quality
Higher recovery rates through overburden strata, almost providing a true undisturbed sample. With the possibility to drill and sample through almost any formations, inclusive of boulders and even rock layers.
- Minimal Hole Deviation
Using a linear resonance results in little to no deviation, often <1% deviation, making it ideal for accurate geological information.
- ‘Hands Off Steel’ Safety
Some of our sonic rigs provide 100% hands off steel rod loading and unloading, making it the safest operational application in the drilling industry.
