Core Drilling

Core drilling is a precision technique used to remove cylindrical samples of material, typically earth or concrete, enabling detailed analysis of subsurface layers. This method provides accurate samples crucial for geological exploration, material quality assessments, and construction projects.

Application

  • Geological exploration for near-surface mineral deposits.
  • Effective in sampling unconsolidated materials for environmental studies.
A yellow hydraulic drilling rig is set up on a construction site, surrounded by scaffolding and safety barriers. The ground is covered with tarpaulin and metal pipes are arranged on a red support frame in front of the machine. Green trees are visible in the background.
A worker operates a core drill to bore a hole into a concrete surface. One hand grips the handle while the other steadies the equipment. The worker wears a red long-sleeve shirt and blue protective boots. The equipment is mounted on a black base.

Benefits

  • Provides precise, undisturbed samples for analysis.
  • Offers fast drilling rates, enabling quick access to subsurface materials for rapid analysis.
  • Particularly advantageous in sandy or loose formations, where traditional drilling methods may struggle.
  • Reduces operational costs by minimizing the time and resources required for shallow drilling operations.
