CPD, also known as shell and auger drilling, uses a large tripod rig and winch to lift and drop a cutting tool inside a steel casing tube. This case maintains stability and prevents the borehole collapsing from any insecure soil. The cutting tool used is dependent on the type of ground substrate.
[pdf] DTH is short for “down-the-hole”. Since the DTH method was originally developed to drill large-diameter holes downwards in surface-drilling applications, its name originated from the fact that the percussion mechanism followed the bit down into the hole. Applications were later found for the DTH method underground, where the direction of drilling is generally upwards instead of downwards.
[pdf] A drilling rig is an integrated system that , such as oil or water wells, or holes for and other construction purposes, into the earth's subsurface. Drilling rigs can be massive structures housing equipment used to drill , , or natural gas extraction wells, or they can be small enough to be moved manually by one person and such are called . Drilling rigs can s.
