How to choose a drilling rig?

You need a drilling rig for various purposes such as drilling a well for natural resources (water, oil, geothermal energy, etc.) building foundations, drilling holes in mines, and taking samples from the ground.

It needs to be determined what the rig will be used for and what terrain it will primarily operate on. Depending on the terrain, you can choose from different types of drilling rigs: rotary drilling rigs, impact drilling rigs, down-the-hole drilling rigs, tophammer drilling rigs (with high hammer), etc.

In order to make the best choice, it is important to determine whether the rig will be used for core business or occasional use, especially if you take advantage of the latest technology, or if a machine that has been working for decades is right for you.

Security, reliability and ease of use are also important considerations and there is a direct link between them. Using a reliable and easy-to-operate rig according to the manufacturer's recommendations increases safety for the user.

It is also very important to define the type of movement required by the rig. There are crawler-mounted autonomous drills and truck-mounted or trailer-mounted drills that need to be powered by a generator or the truck that carries them.

Once the type of drill rig required has been determined, the required drill rig size can be calculated based on the diameter and depth of the drilled hole
