2. Read this information about the sectors of the Drilling
Industry and then answer the questions that follow.
You may have to use some logic as well as looking for
facts in the information to answer them.
Three types of drilling projects
There are three types of drilling projects, each requiring
specific job knowledge to make decisions on the drilling
program:
› Exploration and investigation to gather information;
,› Making production wells to extract something or
injection wells to insert something; and
› Construction and rock breaking where drilling is used
to make a hole for someone else to work in.
These 3 types of projects are covered by 11 industry
sectors. Although there is some overlap, each sector has
distinctive applications.
There are 11 drilling industry sectors and applications
I. Geotechnical site investigation
This industry sector uses drilling to:
› determine soil composition and rock characteristics;
and
› gather information about the nature and position of
the water table.
Page 4
This information is used to inform planning and
construction of
buildings, factories and plant, dams, wharves, civil works,
tunnels and shafts, power stations and storage pits. For
example, if a project
cannot be repositioned, drilling can determine where the
ground is
weak or unstable and which special construction
techniques are required.
II. Foundation and construction drilling
This industry sector uses drilling to:
› Establish stable foundations;
› Increase bearing capacity by drilling deeper to better
strength rock;
, › Provide shear strength between rock face and in situ
concrete;
› Form foundations for buildings or other constructions,
such as bridges, railways, factories, processing plants and
wharves or dams; and
› Provide holes and casings that become part of a
structure, such as piles, or large
diameter holes in bedrock/firm ground filled with
reinforced concrete that become foundations.
Under-reaming and caisson development are specific
applications used in the foundation and construction
sector. Under-reaming is the process of enlarging a hole
underneath the casing to allow the casing to move down
the hole – this is extremely useful when drilling ground
that is not self-supporting and keeps collapsing. A Caisson
is a large water tight structure in which underwater
construction work may be carried out.
III. Environmental drilling
This industry sector uses specialised geotechnical drilling
and water well drilling methods to:
› Monitor quality of ground water and assist control and
remediation of ground water pollution;
› Test and monitor land fill sites, pollution of lagoons and
sensitive sites, e.g. protected land, water supply well
fields, housing developments on reclaimed land and
chemical or hydrocarbon storage sites;
› Determine the source or extent of pollution problems;
› Sample and construct wells for recovering or
remediating pollutants in ground water; and
› Support work at archaeological sites.
