SONIC DRILLING

Drilling Operations

We offer a turnkey service provider which includes every aspect from design to field operation.

With 20 years of field experience and working for the world’s largest drilling and mining companies we understand what it takes to deliver on a contract. We are a small and competent corporate company specialized in sonic drilling.

The core focus in design is on efficiency and low ecological impact.

Our Partner has the lightest and most power efficient Rotosonic heads in the world. This allows us to equip even small rigs with our sonic systems, reducing costs and consequently environmental impact and CO ² emissions.

We understand drilling to be a country, geology, customer and purpose etc. specific process. Staying abreast with the ever changing conditions we are searching every day together with our clients for best practice solutions.

Facts

Soundcore has the lightest and most power efficient Rotosonic heads in the world.
Sonic offers the foundation to produce lighter rigs with more applications.
Stress analysis can be simulated on CAD programs to better understand where mass and material is really necessary
We strive to design rigs with high on and off road capabilities to reduce the need for low beds as well as additional trucks to haul drill pipe and other tooling.
As a service provider we also understand how important it is to maintain a small (CO2) footprint.

Soundcore Drilling

As a manufacturer of sonic rigs we understand the value of sonic drilling. Although sonic drilling can end will deliver superior sample, quality is directly linked to the field crew end its understanding of the technique.

Under German law (Chamber of Trede) we are licensed to train operators and support them to become drillers. The training is based on field experience but includes classroom sessions as weil.

Geotechnical Drilling is a country, geology, customer, purpose etc. specific process. We are keenly aware of these challenges end are searching every day together with our client for better ways to stay ahead of the ever changing game.

Geothermal Drilling (IBS: Injections-Borhsonden-System)

The system is based on Sonic. lt provides the force to overcome wall friction and penetration. The objective of the IBS solution is to combine all 3 basic drilling procedures (drilling, installation and grouting.

lt does not require drill tools since the steel probe takes its place.

Drilling a geothermal well (closed loop) requires large rigs and compressors.

A large onsite footprint and high fuel consumption is part of the job. Mud rotary rigs are smaller but require mud pits and leave a rather messy site behind.

Drillers have to be physically streng and well trained to werk profitable. Investment and maintenance are considerable.

Geotechnics

Sonic Drilling employs the use of high-frequency, resonant energy to advance a core barrel or casing into subsurface formations.

During drilling, the resonant energy is transferred down the drill string to the bit face at various sonic frequencies simultaneously rotating the drill string evenly distributes the energy and impact at the bit face.

When the resonant sonic energy coincides with the natural frequency of the drill string, resonance occurs. This results In the maximum amount of energy being delivered to the face. At the same time, friction of the soil immediately adjacent to the entire drill string is substantially minimized, resulting in very fast penetration.

Sonic drilling provides a continuous, relatively undisturbed core sample of unparalleled quality and accuracy through any type of formation. When using the lso-Flow groundwater profiling system, hydro geological and geochemical data can be easily obtained.
