Geotechnics refers to the application of geological and engineering principles in the behavior of soils, rocks and groundwater, in addition to the study of the mechanical, hydraulic and engineering properties of materials from the earth to design foundations for structures such as buildings, bridges, slope stabilization, among others. Some stages for these studies include exploration, sample analysis, characterization, project design and geotechnical monitoring using instruments, which can be carried out during the construction, operation and closure stages.

Mining Investigation seeks to establish and technically calculate the reserves of the mineral or minerals, the location and characteristics of the deposits or deposits, the preparation of the mining plan, the means and methods of exploitation, and the scale and feasible duration of production. expected.

Drilling is a soil exploration technique, used mainly by mining companies that seek to examine the mineral components of the extracted material before working in the selected area; and the information obtained by drilling companies can give longer useful life to existing deposits or promote new mining deposits for the use of natural resources such as water. A correct analysis will allow the creation of water wells for the extraction of this element.

At TERRADRIL you can find two incredible pieces of equipment for these services using a drill pipe with a diamond tip.

In order to explain better, this method involves removing cores through a drill pipe with a diamond tip and it uses water or drilling fluids to prevent overheating of the head and is used for both surface and underground drilling. Drill pipes can be up to 3 meters long and the diameter changes depending on the size of the drilling; In addition, the tubes can be placed one on top of the other to reach greater depth.
