The first known patent application is from Christopher G. Cross in 1873 for "Drills for Boring Artesian Wells", [1] followed in 1884 by the brothers Morris and Clarence Baker for a "Machine for Operating Drills" [2] The methods used to direct the well path fall into two broad categories, these being “push-the-bit” or “point-the-bit ...
Directional boring machine. Directional boring, also referred to as horizontal directional drilling (HDD), is a minimal impact trenchless method of installing underground utilities such as pipe, conduit, or cables in a relatively shallow arc or radius along a prescribed underground path using a surface-launched drilling rig.
Rotary transfer machines are commonly used for the mass-production of metal parts in the automotive industry and for pneumatic and hydraulic fittings. The parts can range from simple to complex, depending on the layout of the machining tool, which is often custom-designed for the manufacturing of a single part or family of parts.
The purpose of the drill is to create a tunnel under surface obstructions. First, the operator surveys the area and the obstacle (road, sidewalk, driveway). Utility locators must supervise any underground work, and the path most clear of utilities is chosen to send the tool through. The first hole is dug on one side of the obstacle.
Freighter Fairpartner carrying the disassembled tunnel boring machine into the Port of Seattle in April 2013. Bertha was designed and manufactured by Hitachi Zosen Sakai Works of Osaka, Japan, and was the world's largest earth pressure balance tunnel boring machine, [14] at a cutterhead diameter of 57.5 feet (17.5 m) across.
An underground rocket or rocket drill is a device for rapidly drilling holes through soil and rock of varying composition at rates up to 1 metre per second [1] [2] by utilising supersonic jets of hot gases. It was developed by Russian engineer Mikhail Tsiferov in 1948.
Rotary assemblies [2] are commonly used where formations are predictable and the rig economics are an issue. In such an assembly the weight of the drill collars gives the BHA the tendency to sag or flex to the low side of the hole, collar stiffness length and stabiliser diameter and placement are engineered as a means of controlling the flex of the BHA.
Circle interpolating, also known as orbital drilling, is a process for creating holes using machine cutters. Orbital drilling is based on rotating a cutting tool around its own axis and simultaneously about a centre axis which is off-set from the axis of the cutting tool. The cutting tool can then be moved simultaneously in an axial direction ...
