Vertical Drilling
More than 55 years of experience in vertical drilling
Performance of terrain study to offer the best solution in vertical drilling
More than 55 years of experience
In an increasingly drought-affected environment, sustainable access to water resources is more necessary than ever. With more than 50 years of experience in the world of vertical drilling, we offer innovative solutions for harvesting groundwater.
Our team of experts uses advanced technology to ensure that every borehole is efficient and safe, allowing us to offer our customers custom-designed turnkey projects and guaranteeing a constant supply of water even in the most challenging conditions.
A more sustainable and responsible energy future
The energy paradigm shift seen in recent years has resulted in significant momentum towards the exploration and adoption of alternative energy sources, with geothermal energy emerging as an increasingly attractive and viable option.
In response to this growing demand, we offer our customers a comprehensive solution for the air conditioning of their facilities, using geothermal energy as the main source. As part of a customised solution, we handle the entire process, from the initial study and planning to the implementation and ongoing maintenance of the system.
VERTICAL DRILLING SYSTEMS
Rotary percussion
The rotary percussion system used in the vertical drilling method is structured around the use of compressed air to drive the hammer or drilling tool while creating a circulation and transport of cuttings out of the borehole.
DEPTH:
– Maximum lengths: up to 900m
DIAMETER:
– Maximum diameter: 610mm
GROUND:
Drilling system suitable for drilling consolidated ground with granite, limestone, sandstone, making it a fast and efficient drilling system.
Double head
The dual head system involved in the vertical drilling method allows simultaneous drilling and casing in unconsolidated and difficult-to-drill ground.
This method of drilling entails the use of a drilling rig with two independent rotating heads, one driving the drill rod and borehole, the other driving the temporary working pipe.
This system ensures the maximum stability of the walls and minimum soil disturbance.
It is the perfect drilling method for water abstraction in alluvial aquifers.
DEPTH:
– Maximum lengths: up to 200m
DIAMETER:
– Maximum diameter: 610mm
GROUND:
Drilling system suitable for drilling in unconsolidated ground.
Reverse-circulation rotation
The reverse-circulation rotation system involved in the vertical drilling method entails reverse rotation placing the drilling tool at the end of the rod and inserting drilling fluid and removing cuttings through the borehole itself.
This system ensures the maximum stability of the walls and minimum soil disturbance.
This system is mainly used for deep boreholes in poorly consolidated soils such as clays, clayey sands, loams and gravels, among others.
DEPTH:
– Maximum lengths: up to 900m
DIAMETER:
– Maximum diameter: 450mm
GROUND:
Drilling system suitable for drilling in poorly consolidated ground.
Symmetrix®
The Symmetrix system applies a double vertical drilling technique that consists of exerting the rotational and thrust force of the ground cutting tool simultaneously with the casing feed, cooling and cleaning the assembly by means of water injection.
This technique is designed for deep boreholes in poorly consolidated soils such as clays, clayey sands, loams and gravels, among others.
DEPTH:
– Maximum lengths: up to 900m
DIAMETER:
– Maximum diameter: 450mm
GROUND:
Drilling system suitable for drilling in unconsolidated soils
