Patented drilling technology exclusive to Sonic Drilling Ltd.
Holes are drilled to the desired depth by rotating and vibrating the casing at resonant sonic frequencies while keeping the bit face open with high-pressure fluid Ability to:
Simultaneously drill and case holes to full depth Drill in any geological formation Drill very straight holes Drill without using drilling mud, which provides a
much cleaner and safer work environment
Economical drilling rates due to the efficient sonic drilling method, especially in gravel and boulder ground where other rigs experience great difficulty due to loss of drill mud through gravel zones and where other rigs must case the hole to prevent collapse of the borehole wall
Full length cased hole allows for:
Easy installation of one or a multitude of geo
loops in
the same hole Quick and efficient installation of pre-coiled geo
loops
without the leading edge hanging up
against the
sidewall of a mud drilled borehole Installation of any size geo loop or copper heat
exchanger Ease of grouting by the tremie line method or
pressure
grout method and provides accurate
monitoring of the
grouting process complete grout coverage around the geo loop
(no need to
worry about heaving sands or
sidewall collapse of cobble
and boulder zones)
Vibrates the steel casing out of the ground after the geo loop installation and placement of thermally enhanced grout
Outstanding ability to provide continuous core samples that can be used to create an accurate geological site profile before the final design of the loop field
