Preparations To Be Made before The Rotary Drilling Rig Starts Working

As an efficient pile foundation construction equipment, the rotary drilling rig's preparatory work before operation is directly related to construction safety and efficiency. Conducting a comprehensive inspection and deployment can minimize the risk of failure and lay a solid foundation for subsequent operations.

1. Prepare for appearance and component inspection: Carefully check if there are any cracks or deformations in the structural parts of the drilling rig and whether the connecting bolts are tightened. Check the wear and tear of vulnerable parts such as drill pipes and drill bits to ensure there is no breakage or excessive wear.

2. Power and hydraulic system inspection: Before starting the engine, check whether the fuel, engine oil and coolant levels are sufficient. Conduct a trial run of the hydraulic system to observe whether the movements of each cylinder are smooth and whether there is any leakage or abnormal noise

3. Site investigation and leveling: Confirm the geological conditions of the construction site, remove ground obstacles and potential hazards of underground pipelines. Level the site and compact it. If necessary, lay steel plates to ensure that the drilling rig is parked stably.

4. Safety device debugging: Check whether safety devices such as limiters, alarms, and emergency brakes are sensitive and reliable. Ensure that the protective facilities in the operation room are in good condition and that the fire-fighting equipment is fully equipped and within its validity period.

5. Preparation of drilling tools and auxiliary equipment: Select the appropriate type of drill bit based on geological conditions and check the sealing of the connection parts of the drilling tools. Prepare auxiliary tools such as the mud circulation system and hoisting equipment, and ensure their normal performance.

6. Personnel and technical Briefing: Operators must be certified to work, and their job responsibilities and emergency response procedures must be clearly defined. The technical personnel briefed the unit on the construction parameters, such as key indicators like pile depth and hole diameter.

In conclusion, the preparations before the operation of a rotary drilling rig need to cover multiple dimensions such as equipment, site, safety, and personnel. Only by strictly implementing all inspections and arrangements can the smooth progress of the construction process be guaranteed and the quality and safety of the work be improved.
