A simple guide to drilling Drilling or Boring holes in the ground ( after 29 years in the job I prefer Boring and the jokes about me having a Boring job ) falls into two main areas, open holes and cored holes. click on the above for more information. Drill rigs again fall into two main types, rotary and percussion. click on Rig Types for more information. There are many reasons for drilling holes in the ground apart from mineral exploration such as ground contamination, water wells, water and gas monitoring, earthing rod and cathode installation, dewatering, ground engineering etc. there are also many types of sampling and testing methods:- window sampling, U4 and SPT testing and sampling, dynamic probes, packer testing and much much more.
