Advantages:R.C.Drilling, referred to as " Centre Sample Recovery" or " Dual
Wall Drilling",employs a Dual Wall Pipe where the drilling medium,
normally high pressure air,is passed between the outer and inner
tubes down to the face of drilling bit where it is returned up the
centre tube along with the sample cut by the drill bit.
1. No contamination
The R.C. System collects sample through the recovery
holes in the face of the drill bit immediately as the cuttings or
sample is formed.The drilled sample does not have to travel the
length of the harmmer where contamination and loss of sample takes
place.
2. Higher Production
In broken and fractured ground conditions, the
R.C.will often out perform the conventional hammer in terms of
penetration rates.
3.Dry Sample
Even in certain water bearing stratas it is still
possible to collect a dry sample because the cutting (sample) are
collected as they are formed throught the face of the drill bit.
4.Higher Sample Recovery
Because the sample is collected through the face of
the drill bit there is no loss of sample when drilling through
broken or fractured ground. And since the bit matched to the chuck
size, there is very little by pass of sample and recovery rates of
up to 98% are generally achievable.
