Drilling Masaryktown What is Direct Push Drilling?

Drilling is a science that can be extremely complex for professionals, but there are many ways that a professional drilling company can use special tools and techniques to get even the hardest of jobs done. When it comes to geotechnical drilling, Masaryktown drilling professionals might be more inclined to use direct push technology or DPT, to gain access to a location. Not only is direct push technology appropriate for drilling wells and boreholes, but it can also be great for equipment to have DPT because it can be used in instances of soil and groundwater sampling in some instances.

What is Direct Push Technology?

Drilling rigs that have tools with direct push technology are able to apply the static weight of the rigs with a hydraulic hammer in order to advance a drill or other type of instrumentation through the subsurface of a location. With direct push drilling, Masaryktown drilling professionals do not have to worry about having many pieces of equipment for many soil and sediment conditions as most of the time DPT equipment can handle most conditions. These types of rigs are especially good for residential and commercial drilling tasks because they can handle going through sediments that are saturated with water, or in locations that have a standing body of water.

Why do Drilling Professionals use Direct Push Drilling?

Drilling professionals will have equipment with DPT because they are efficient and are great in multiple situations. With direct push drilling, Masaryktown drilling professionals will often say that these rigs are smaller, making them ideal for smaller sites or in ears where space is tight. This can be a problem in some instances such as dealing with residential areas. Another benefit of using DPT drilling equipment is that often times there is not much drilling byproducts, often called investigation derived waste or IDW. DPT rigs often do not require removal of drill cuttings that can get caught in the drilled whole that was just created, and also does not get clogged when cooling or lubrication fluids are used.
