rock anchor drilling rig

For the purpose of bolstering structures, a rock anchor drilling rig – often referred to as a down-the-hole (DTH) rig – is used to craft holes in rocks. This unique rotary drilling rig is capable of creating significant-sized cavities in a variety of rock types.

Hydraulic rigs are designed to break through the ground in holes with a span range of 3 to 16 inches (7.6 to 40.6cm) wide. Durable down-the-hole (DTH) bits, customized for specific rock kinds, are available to accompany the rigs. Additionally, a rock anchoring system is provided to guarantee your anchors find their way securely into the drilled holes.

Armed with a drill bit of petite size, the penetrating stage commences, piercing the surface with a pilot hole. Then, with a series of greater-sized drill bits, this initial bore is augmented until it reaches the ideal dimension. Once in place, a tailored rock anchor drilling system is called in to expertly secure the anchors.

The rock anchor drilling process requires three separate components. To begin, a drill bit is affixed to a drill rod. This assembly is then used to bore a deep hole into the ground. When that is complete, a rock anchor is connected to the same rod and inserted into the newly-drilled area for secure anchoring.

Once the anchors are affixed in place, the completion of the drilling process is achieved by pouring grout to fill up the space between them. This solution creates more stability to the underlying framework.

When an endeavor needs stabilizing or anchoring structures, Rock anchor drilling rigs are essential for the job. Versatility is key when using these rigs, for the possibilities they can provide are endless.
