Epic Sonic Drilling Journey
Sydney based R20 Sonic crews have been on a 13 week tour which included quarantine, 4 states, 4 projects and a total of 6400km mobilization. Project requirements included 150mm production bores, Environmental monitoring wells, and Vibrating Wire Piezometers for a Geotechnical client. The rig completed projects in Queensland, South Australia, Northern Territory and New south wales.
Geotechnical drilling on a small scale
Despite its small stature the Geo 205 is still capable of HQ coring to 30m quite comfortably and it automatic SPT hammer ensures safe operation. The tight squeeze is assisted but fully remote control operation allowing the driller to keep well out of harm’s way.
Does your drilling contractor hold the required drillers licence?
The bore shall be constructed by a suitably qualified driller who possess the appropriate experience and the relevant class of licence that the state or territory deem necessary. An appropriately licenced driller shall be on site at all times during bore construction and decommissioning activities.”
