You’ll learn about core bits, reaming shells, core barrels, inner tubes, drill rods, casing, how they all fit together and what their purpose is. The video does an excellent job of describing how core drilling works visually, with clear animation.

How deep do rotary core drilling rigs drill?

The drilling rigs generally drill 50mm to 200mm diameter boreholes through rock to depths of up to 100m, carrying out Cone Penetration Tests (CPTs) where necessary. Cable Percussive Boreholes are often drilled to the depth of rock, with Rotary Core Drilling following on for economical reasons, particularly when significant gravel layers are present

How does a core drilling rig work?

Depending on the size of the hole, most situations require the drilling rig to be attached to the ground or surface with an anchor, bolt, or vacuum seal to keep the rig stabilized. Because core drilling requires substantial speed and force to get through concrete, a lot of heat is generated during the drilling process.
