Challenge
A sand exploration project required accurate, undisturbed core samples from a target depth of 50 meters. Loose sand formations present unique drilling challenges — borehole stability is hard to maintain, core recovery rates can drop sharply, and conventional auger methods often fail to deliver intact samples at such depths.
Solution
The JCD200 diamond core drilling rig was deployed to handle the 50-meter sand sampling operation. Equipped with diamond-impregnated bits and a high-torque rotary head, the rig Delivered:
