Are holes marked and have you a suitable drill log sheet? Are the holes properly sealed by the rubber skirt? Is the dust extraction equipment fully operational? Are there any obvious signs of cracks, overhangs on/behind the face? Is the brake operational? Is your shelter up wind of the rig?
[pdf] With interchangeable core bits capable of drilling holes from 1.5" to 9" in diameter, operators can tackle diverse pipe materials including vitrified clay, concrete, ductile iron, cast iron, C-900, HOBAS, and PVC/HDPE systems using a single versatile machine.
[pdf] Drill stems must be designed to transfer drilling torque for combined lengths that often exceed several miles down into the , and also must be able to resist pressure differentials between inside and outside (or vice versa), and have sufficient strength to suspend the total weight of deeper components. For deep wells this requires tempered steel tubes that are expensive, and owners spend considerable efforts to reuse them after finishing a well.
