The Application of Rotary Drilling Rig in Desert

The construction project in desert area faces many challenges, stable and reliable foundation construction is the key to guarantee the quality of the project. Rotary drilling rig, with its own characteristics, plays a unique role in the desert environment. The following is a detailed introduction to the application of rotary drilling rig in the desert.

1. Equipment adaptability transformation: the desert wind and sand are large, and the rotary drilling rig needs to be protected and modified. Add dust cover to seal key components to prevent sand and dust from entering the equipment, affecting mechanical properties and service life.

2. Dealing with soft sand: the sand has low carrying capacity, and it is easy to sink during rotary drilling rig operation. By widening the track and increasing the area of the legs, the weight of the equipment is distributed to improve the stability of the drilling rig on soft sand.

3. Drilling process adjustment: the desert stratum is loose, and the hole is easy to collapse during drilling. Adjust the ratio of mud, improve the performance of mud wall protection, ensure the smooth drilling and guarantee the construction quality of pile foundation.

4. Water access and utilization: desert water shortage, and rotary drilling rig construction may need water. Plan the water source in advance, use the local limited water resources, or adopt water-saving construction technology to ensure the construction water demand.

5. Transportation and assembly problems: desert transportation is inconvenient, and equipment transportation is difficult. Disassemble the rotary drilling rig, use the appropriate transportation tools, and assemble quickly and accurately upon arrival at the site to ensure that the equipment is put into use on time.

6. High-temperature environment operation: desert summer temperature is high, the equipment is easy to overheat. Install efficient heat dissipation device, arrange working time reasonably, avoid long-term continuous operation in high temperature period, and ensure stable operation of equipment.

In summary, although the rotary drilling rig faces many difficulties in desert construction, it can effectively complete the pile foundation construction task through a series of targeted measures. Its successful application in desert areas has provided strong support for the construction of desert infrastructure and helped the development and construction of desert areas.
