 DRILLING METHODS

Rotary-percussion Drilling

In very hard rocks, such as granite, the only

way to drill a hole is

to pulverize the rock, using a rapid-action

pneumatic hammer, often known

as a 'down-the-hole hammer'

(DTH). Compressed air is needed to drive this

tool. The air also flushes

the cuttings and dust from the borehole.

Rotation of 10-30 rpm ensures

that the borehole is straight, and circular in

cross-section
Rotary drilling with flush

Method: A drill-pipe and bit are

rotated to cut the rock. Air, water, or

drilling mud is pumped down the

drill-pipe to flush out the debris. The

velocity of the flush in the borehole

annulus must be sufficient to lift the

cuttings.

At legacy we are proud to say we

have the two common methods in

Zimbabwe that is rotary air and mud

drilling.
