Water well drilling is an essential technique used to access underground water resources, particularly for agricultural, domestic, or industrial needs. Depending on the soil composition and the depth of the water table, different drilling methods are used to reach aquifers. Two of the main techniques employed are rotary drilling and down-the-hole drilling. Each method is suited to specific geological conditions and requires specialized tools to ensure fast, accurate, and long-lasting results.
The down-the-hole drilling method involves using a hammer located at the end of the drill string, directly behind the drill bit. This technique is especially effective in hard and compact ground, where percussion helps break the rock deep underground. Technidrill offers a complete range of tools for this method, including down-the-hole hammers, bits suited to various diameters and rock types, as well as drill rods and adapters designed to ensure optimal performance and long-lasting durability in demanding conditions.
In contrast, rotary drilling relies on the continuous rotation of the cutting tool, typically a tricone bit, which drills through abrasion and shearing. This technique is often preferred in soft to moderately hard ground, as it allows for smoother drilling and better control over hole diameter. To meet the demands of rotary drilling, Technidrill provides tricone bits and PR (percussion rotation) drilling rods along with connectors, ensuring efficient torque transmission and enhanced safety throughout the operation.
