1. Soft Soil and Clay

Recommended Rig: Low to Medium-Torque Pneumatic Drilling Rig


Features:


Moderate Power: Soft soil and clay don't require high power, so a rig with moderate torque is sufficient.

Efficient Penetration: These rigs are designed to quickly penetrate soft soils without causing excessive vibration or displacement.

Cost-Effective: Typically, these rigs are less expensive, making them an economical choice for projects in soft soil regions.

Ideal For: Residential construction, agricultural projects, and small-scale industrial drilling.


2. Sandy and Loose Soils

Recommended Rig: High-Torque Pneumatic Drilling Rig with Enhanced Stability


Features:


High Power: Sandy soils require higher torque to maintain stability and prevent collapse during drilling.

Advanced Stabilization: These rigs often come with features to enhance stability and prevent the borehole from collapsing.

Durability: Designed to withstand the abrasive nature of sandy soils, ensuring longevity and reduced maintenance.

Ideal For: Infrastructure projects, foundation drilling, and large-scale construction projects.


3. Mixed Soil and Gravel

Recommended Rig: Versatile Pneumatic Drilling Rig with Adjustable Torque


Features:


Adjustable Torque: Allows operators to adjust the power based on varying soil conditions encountered during drilling.

Robust Design: Built to handle a mix of soil types, including gravel, without compromising on performance.

Flexibility: Versatile rigs are ideal for projects where soil conditions can change frequently within the same site.

Ideal For: Urban development, road construction, and projects requiring flexibility in drilling operations.


4. Hard Rock and Bedrock

Recommended Rig: Ultra-High-Torque Pneumatic Drilling Rig


Features:


Maximum Power: These rigs provide the highest torque to effectively penetrate hard rock and bedrock.

Advanced Technology: Equipped with advanced features such as real-time monitoring and automated controls to enhance precision and safety.

Durability: Constructed with the toughest materials to withstand the rigors of hard rock drilling.

Ideal For: Mining, quarrying, and large-scale industrial drilling operations.


5. Fractured and Karstic Limestone

Recommended Rig: Pneumatic Drilling Rig with Rock Stability Control
