Vibrationstechnology

EURODRILL's Vibration Head RHV 1500 is in successful operation at the Tideway Project in London. In this project, injection applications are carried out by using a drilling rig equipped with a Vibration Head. Advantages are evident to the Technical Manager Major Projects, Bachy Soletanche:

Vibrating head technology appears to offer the potential promise of:

• increased production rates vs traditional rotary drilling;
• lower equipment rental and drill string costs compared with equivalent sonic technologies;
• lower drill string wear compared with traditional rotary methods in hard ground
• potentially significantly lower equipment capex, maintenance  and  operating costs compared with traditional sonic drilling:
• comparable performance with sonic drilling Methods
