Description

Once bore a hole in the unstable soil formation, there is potential risk of hole collapsing. Casing drilling is an ideal drilling method that combine the drilling and casing process together to stabilize the hole. Powered by DTH hammer, the casing system has a pilot bit which drives a ring bit to drill a hole wide enough so that a casing tube can slide down to the hole. As the drilling process and casing process are performing at the same time, the casing tube can stabilize the hole immediately.

Overburden casing drilling system can be classified into concentric casing system, eccentric casing system and slide block casing system. Eccentric casing system is the most economical drilling solution because its reamer bits can be retrievable and can be used to drill next hole. It is ideal to drill shallow holes in well drilling and micro piling work. Eccentric overburden casing system is composed of a pilot bit, reamer bit, guide device and casing shoe.

How does Eccentric casing system(ODEX) work?

1. Once drilling starts, the reamer bit will rotate out to enlarge the hole wide enough so the casing tube can slide down smoothly behind the reamer

2.After drilling into the required depth, rotation is reversed to retract the reamer bits so the whole drilling system can be pulled out through the casing tube.

Feature:

Stable and reliable performance with high drilling speed

Retrievable and economical casing drilling system

Available in different size from diameter 108-377mm

FAQ

1. What is an Eccentric Overburden Casing System (ODEX) in the context of micro piles?

The ODEX system is a specialized drilling tool used for installing micro piles in challenging ground conditions. It's designed to drill through overburden – soil layers above solid rock – and then anchor into the rock to provide foundation support.

2. How does the ODEX system work for micro piles?

The ODEX system drills through overburden using an eccentric, retractable bit. Once it reaches solid rock, the bit retracts, allowing a casing to be driven into the hole for pile installation.

3. What makes the ODEX system suitable for micro pile installation?

Its ability to efficiently drill through mixed soil and rock layers and provide stable casing installation in unstable ground makes it ideal for micro pile construction.

4. Can the ODEX system be used in all soil types?

The ODEX system is particularly effective in mixed or challenging ground conditions, including loose, water-saturated, or rocky soils, where traditional drilling methods might fail.

5. What are the components of an ODEX system?

The system includes an eccentric bit for drilling, a pilot bit for initial penetration, and a casing shoe. The drill bit and casing advance simultaneously through the overburden.

6. Is specialized equipment required to operate an ODEX system?

The ODEX system is used with standard drilling rigs, but it requires the specific ODEX drilling tools compatible with the rig.

7. How are micro piles installed using the ODEX system?

After drilling and casing installation, micro piles are constructed by placing reinforcement into the casing and filling it with grout or concrete.

8. What are the advantages of using ODEX for micro piles?

The main advantages include faster drilling in mixed ground conditions, minimized disturbance to surrounding soil, and the ability to create stable foundations in challenging environments.

9. Are there different sizes of ODEX systems for micro piles?

Yes, ODEX systems come in various sizes to accommodate different pile diameters and ground conditions.

10. How does the ODEX system handle groundwater during drilling?

The system's casing installation process helps to seal off groundwater, preventing inflow into the borehole and ensuring the stability of the micro pile.

11. Can the ODEX system be reused?

Many components of the ODEX system, like the drill bits and casing shoes, are reusable, making it a cost-effective solution for multiple projects.
