6 FAQs about [Drilling rig mast failure]
What if a drill rig mast fails?
The collapsed drill rig mast (left) and the drill rig’s failed pivot point (right) on the RHS tubing. Include, as part of the operator’s pre-operational checks, a visual inspection of the mast pivot points, pivot shaft and supporting structure for any visual signs of cracking or component failure.
Why did a single pass over-burden drill rig collapse?
The operator was attempting to lower the mast on a single pass over-burden drill rig before tramming off the bench and up the access ramp. The operator had unlocked the mast locking pins and was lowering the mast when the lower pivot points on the mast failed, causing it to collapse.
Why did a blast hole drill rig collapse?
The mast on an open cut blast hole drill rig collapsed suddenly when the operator attempted to lower the mast before moving the drill rig off the drill bench. The operator was attempting to lower the mast on a single pass over-burden drill rig before tramming off the bench and up the access ramp.
What happened to a blast hole drill rig mast?
A blast hole drill rig mast was being lowered from the vertical to horizontal position. Its top end was about 1 metre from its horizontal resting position when a bearing block capping bolt failed. This caused more bolts to fail and the mast thenfell close to its intended horizontal resting place, but causing considerable damage.
What happened when a drill lowered a mast?
The operator had unlocked the mast locking pins and was lowering the mast when the lower pivot points on the mast failed, causing it to collapse. The drill sustained substantial damage but there were no recorded injuries.
What happens when a hydraulic ram fails in a drill rig?
While raising the mast of a LM 1300 series exploration drill rig a catastrophic loss of oil pressure in the hydraulic ram occurred. The hydraulic ram is used to raise or lower the drill mast and this failure resulted in the rapid uncontrolled descent of the mast down into the support scaffolding frame of the drill rig.
