Sonic drilling is an innovative drilling method. Its added sonic capabilities offer several advantages over conventional drilling - with a wide range of applications, it's the solution for every drilling job.
Sonic drilling is a soil penetration technique that uses high frequency vibratory energy, generated by a sonic drill head, to advance a core barrel through even the most challenging soils, all whilst collecting high quality samples. Applications include environmental drilling, mineral sampling, geotechnical sampling and testing, seismic drilling and geo-constructional drilling.
Increase your productivity with not just the Royal Eijkelkamp products, but also via onsite product training. You'll be equipped with both the tools and knowledge to get the most out of your equipment.
You'll find this nowhere else: only Royal Eijkelkamp is able to offer such a diverse range of geotechnical solutions with dedicated drill rigs, dedicated CPT rigs and also the Drill’n CPT combination system.
The Drill’n CPT is an easy to install and use add-on system, that fits in the break out clamp of Royal Eijkelkamp drill rigs. The system allows the user to quickly switch from drilling to performing CPT. Unlike downhole CPT systems, the Drill’n CPT performs a continuous CPT rather than discrete intervals and provides real-time data.
When encountering a hard layer that CPT cannot pass through, simply use the drill until softer material is again reached.
Combining our unique experience in both Sonic drilling and CPT, Royal Eijkelkamp offers the latest development in the CPT industry: SonicCPT.
When standard CPT hits refusal, the SonicCPT technology can be used to overcome the terminating factor and advance the CPT further than previously possible. SonicCPT makes use of vibratory energy from the sonic head, which acts to reduce friction along the CPT rods while also breaking down stiff soil layers at the cone. You can make use of this sonic energy either by adding a Drill'n CPT system to your sonic drill rig, or a SonicCPT pusher to your CPT carrier.
Are you ready to meet the difference in Sonic drilling? Royal Eijkelkamp drilling equipment will help to increase your productivity, with a product line that is designed to be safer and more ergonomic than the industry standard. In addition to our unique sonic drilling method, we also offer product field training in your local environment.
