Conventional Diamond Core Drilling
Core Drilling
Roschen have the capability to carry out diamond core drilling in
various diameters - to depths up to 550m.
NLMC = 51.9mm diameter core, resulting in a 75.7mm diameter holes.
HQ3 = 63.5mm diameter core, resulting in a 96mm diameter hole
PQ3 = 83mm diameter core, resulting in a 122.3mm diameter hole
4C = 101.6mm diameter core, resulting in 139.7mm diameter hole.
Core drilling provides a continuous intact core sample from the
borehole. Coring is the most expensive drilling option but provides
the most detailed information on the rock material and allows
sampling and laboratory testing of the samples.
As the drill bit advances, a cylindrical core of rock progressively
fills a triple tube core barrel (double tube barrels are also used
by some companies) immediately above the core bit. Core samples are
periodically recovered, (Roschen use 3.0m long core barrels,) at
the end of the core "run" the complete barrel and the drill rods
are pulled from the hole, the end of the barrel is disassembled by
removing the core bit and catcher, the the stainless steel splits
are then pumped out of the inner barrel by using high pressure
water. The splits are then opened to reveal the core in virtually
undisturbed condition.
Rotation speeds during diamond core drilling can vary up to 1500
rpm depending on the material being drilled and core size and drill
bit being used. Penetration rates are slower than other methods
generally due to the hardness and at times the weakness of the
rock, plus the time taken to retrieve the core barrel when drilling
at deeper depths. An alternative to Conventional core drilling is
wireline core drilling this can speed the drilling progress up
especially when drilling deeper holes -
Wireline Core Drilling
Roschen also have the capability to carry out wireline core
drilling.
Wireline core drilling is the same principle as conventional core
drilling whereby a solid core of rock is collected within the core
barrel, the difference is how the core barrel is retrieved from the
borehole. When the core barrel is full or the run is finished
instead of the complete drill string - rods and core barrel being
pulled from the hole, the core rods and outer core barrel remain in
the hole and only the inner core barrel is retrieved by lowering a
cable with an overshot down the core rods. The overshot attaches to
the top of the inner tube/barrel of the core barrel and then the
assembly is winched to the surface. The inner barrel is
disassembled and the core pumped from the inner barrel as is done
in conventional core drilling.
Wireline core drilling requires a completely different set of gear
- bits, rods and associated tooling to that used for conventional
core drilling which is not generally carried with the rigs at all
times - please let your Roschen contact know if you require
wireline core drilling prior to mobilisation to site.
Applications:
Does Roschen carry out Exploration drilling?
Yes, Roschen carries out exploration drilling - we have rigs with
varying capabilities of up to 500m. We have previously worked on
exploration projects all over Queensland and therefore have
valuable experience in the field. We also have experienced site
supervisors and geologists and are able to provide a "turn key"
package
Does Roschen carry out Geotechnical Drilling?
Yes Roschen carries out geotechnical drilling and associated
services. We have 5 rigs ranging from a small truck mounted auger
rig with SPT capabilities, to our larger truck mounted drilling
rigs which can reach depths of 350m plus. We also offer experienced
geologists/geotechnical engineers for site supervision, project
management, soil and rock logging, safety management and
monitoring. We can carry out test pitting services with associated
DCP testing and soil sampling.
Can Roschen drill water monitoring bores?
Yes, Roschen can drill water monitoring bores and install
monitoring wells to detailed specifications.
Can Roschen carry out other geotechnical site services?
Yes, Roschen can carry out associated geotechnical site services
such as Test Pitting and associated soil sampling and DCP testing,
Window sampling, Service locating, Traffic management, Access
creation, Site rehabilitation and Slashing
Can Roschen provide site supervision and professional services?
Yes, Roschen has experienced geologists/geotechnical engineers that
can supervise the drilling rigs/excavators, Provide soil and rock
logging services, Project management, Client liaison, Safety
management, Safety monitoring and Factual reporting.
Does Roschen work interstate?
Yes, Roschen will work interstate
Do Roschen have inducted staff for mine and Petroleum and Gas
sites?
Roschen have staff that are inducted onto various mine sites
throughout Queensland plus several petroleum and gas sites such as
Origin Energy, Santos, Arrow Energy, QGC, AGL amongst others.
What diameter borehole can Roschen drill?
Roschen can drill a variety of different diameter holes depending
on the borehole/project requirements - ranging from 100mm diameter
to 250mm diameter.
