Angle drilling has a wide range of applications in the drilling industry. An accurate measurement of a geological formation frequently requires angle drilling where vertical drilling would be fallacious. Angle drilling becomes an asset in structural drilling of foundations and coalmine subsidence for acquiring reliable data. Installation of test performing equipment may require the borehole to be on an angle rather than completely vertical to produce more precise results.
Raimonde Drilling Corporation utilizes angle drilling for the installation of casing for diverse functions by General Contractors. This casing varies in diameter and length. Due to the various applications of angle drilling, Raimonde Drilling Corporation possesses several methods to achieve the client's intention.
Project sites, especially in underground tunnels, may have limitations as to the equipment and techniques that can be used. Limitations include utility obstructions, harder rock formations, sheet piling, wood and other unknown obstacles. Together with these limitations and our experience, Raimonde Drilling Corporation develops a specific approach for the best possible way to accomplish the client's intent in a safe manner. The angle capabilities range from 1 - 180 degrees from the vertical for diameters up to 10". We have been called upon to perform these various techniques and have been successful on all attempts.
