Anahem is a laboratory that mainly analyzes water, air, soil, but also other types of analysis aimed at improving the human environment. Anaheim chose the portable model VB1 Lite because of its small dimensions and easy transport. At the request of the client, some modifications were made. Larger wheels for greater stability and hitch for jeep towing on large construction sites.
Using VLIG drilling rigs, Fontus Water is changing the way UK customers access and manage their own water. Mains water costs have increased by more than 40% since the privatization of UK water. Water restrictions are common during dry spells in the UK, but with 85% of the technology land lying above productive aquifers, Fontus Water gives businesses, residents and communities access to their own water with fully automated wells to supply water for life.
One of our clients is the company Geoproing from Novi Sad, which primarily deals with geomechanical research.
At the request of the client, some modifications were made to the basic model of the VB1 – RIG model in order to adapt the drilling rig to the needs of geotechnical research. The basic change was made by adding a frequency regulator to the motor of the drilling head, which enabled the choice of rotation speed from 0-60 rpm, as well as a demountable tower, which reduced the length of the machine during transport by about 40%.
Over time, tools were developed for exploratory drilling using the dry method, by drilling, and later by continuous gouging with a diameter of 100 mm. In this way, the equipped machine can very easily drill and sample material in terrains built by dusty, clayey and sandy sediments.
Exploratory drilling is very quick and easy, it does not require more than 2-3 workers, and the average drilling time is approx. 2 hours for a 10 m well. Most of the field research work was carried out on the territory of Vojvodina, where the tool “Continuous Drill” with OK connection proved to be very effective and fast in sandy terrains saturated with water, where the well wall collapses easily after the tool is removed. The 10 kW unit accompanying the VB1 – RIG rig proved to be sufficient and reliable. The equipment is transported on a 750 kg trailer pulled by a Renault Trafic van, which contains all the accompanying equipment and tools.
Clear doo from Pirot is another in a series of satisfied clients. They use model VB1 – RIG for the purpose of drilling fi200 and fi150 diameter wells with final installation of fi125 well pipes.
