The WL drilling rods A-WL from Technidrill are engineered for reliable torque transfer, tight make-up, and long service life in demanding wireline drilling. High-grade steel, controlled heat treatment, and accurate threads deliver smooth coupling, tight seals, and excellent alignment, which helps protect your tools and boosts penetration rates.
Available lengths: 1000 mm, 1500 mm, 3000 mm, 5 ft, and 10 ft—so you can match rod length to your rig, hole depth, and handling preferences. Consistent straightness and premium threads reduce energy loss, vibration, and wear, helping you drill faster with fewer stoppages.
Wireline drilling allows you to retrieve the core with an inner tube on a cable without pulling the entire drill string. That means faster core recovery, fewer trips, and better overall productivity. Using WL drilling rods designed for this method—like Technidrill’s A-WL—keeps the string stable while transmitting torque and fluid effectively. The result: cleaner holes, better sample recovery, and lower operating costs over a campaign. In short, the right rods make the wireline method pay off.
Have an unusual diameter, abrasive ground, or a target depth that pushes your window? The Technidrill engineering office supports custom WL drilling rods from concept to delivery. You’ll get material selection, stress checks, thread/interface optimization, and fit-for-purpose coatings or hardfacing where needed. Every project follows a documented quality plan with dimensional checks and thread gauges, so your bespoke A-WL rods arrive ready to run and easy to maintain.
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Tight thread tolerances | Faster tripping, reliable seals |
| Straightness control | Lower vibration, better hole quality |
| Optimized ID/OD profile | Strong torque transmission with manageable weight |
| Quality-checked couplings | Reduced risk of washouts and leaks |
| Multiple lengths | Flexible string design and handling |
1. What is an A-WL rod?
It’s an A-size wireline rod used in wireline coring systems. It provides the mechanical link between the drill head and the core barrel.
2. What sets Technidrill A-WL rods apart?
They’re manufactured from high-strength steels. Precise threading and strict quality control ensure performance and durability.
3. What lengths are available?
A-WL rods are available in 1000 mm, 1500 mm, 3000 mm, 5 ft, and 10 ft.
4. Can I order custom wireline rods?
Yes. Thanks to the Technidrill design office, custom versions can be developed to meet your specific needs.
5. In what types of drilling can A-WL rods be used?
They’re suitable for mining exploration, geotechnical, and environmental drilling that requires precise coring.
6. Where can I find more technical information?
Technical datasheets and detailed specifications are available by contacting the Technidrill team.
Technidrill A-WL WL drilling rods combine precision machining, robust metallurgy, and practical length choices to keep your wireline program running smoothly. With standard options ready to ship—and a design office for custom builds—you get dependable rods that save time, protect tools, and raise core recovery. When your schedule is tight and the ground is unforgiving, A-WL helps you stay on pace.
