Large Diameter / Odex Drilling
We specialise in large diameter and ODEX drilling, offering precise, efficient solutions for challenging ground conditions and complex drilling projects.
Drilling
Large Diameter
Large diameter drilling is frequently employed in foundation construction for buildings, bridges, and other structures. It allows for the installation of deep and wide foundation elements, such as drilled shafts, that can support heavy loads and provide stability.
It is also used to search for mineral occurrences or clues in the rocks that may lead to mineral deposits. The information gathered during this stage may or may not lead to a discovery of valuable minerals. Drilling penetrates deep into the ground and brings up samples of whatever it finds on its way.
Drilling
Odex
Odex Drilling and equipment enables you to drill and case deep holes simultaneously in all types of formation, Casing diameters from 114mm (Odex 90) to 273mm, (Odex 240) can be used – 90 and 240 in the ODEX code stands for pilot outer diameter.
The term ODEX is an abbreviation for Overburden Drilling EXcentric. This Drilling method is suitable for boring through boulders and rock strata. A heavy-duty drill “string” is lowered into a steel tube or outer casing. the Odex drill bit quickly cuts ahead of the steel casing which enables the bit to open out. The bit can now drill a hole with a diameter slightly greater than that of the steel casing.
