Application of Water Well Drilling Rigs in Mine Hydrogeological Exploration
A water well drilling rig plays a key role in mine hydrogeology, identifying water sources and paths for safety.
-
Exploring water-bearing layers: It drills to map aquifers near ore bodies, assessing flood risks. A coal mine used 10 drill holes, finding a 30m-deep sandstone aquifer—data for roof waterproofing.
-
Tracking water-conducting faults: Drilling along faults reveals their water flow ability. A metal mine drilled 3 fault holes; loose rocks and high water yield confirmed it as a main path—prompting grouting.
-
Predicting water inflow and monitoring levels: Pump tests via drill holes get parameters to forecast inflow. An iron mine predicted 2000m³/day, fitting drainage gear. Observation holes track 水位 drops—one gold mine adjusted plans after 5m decline.
The water well drilling rig provides direct data, preventing mine water bursts. It ensures safe mining for water well drilling rigs.
