The Environmental Impact And Protection of Rotary Drilling Rig Construction

Although rotary drilling RIGS are highly efficient in construction, they can cause various impacts on the surrounding environment during the process, including noise, water and soil, vegetation, etc. Taking scientific protective measures can ensure construction while minimizing environmental disturbances.

1. Noise pollution and protection: During construction, the engine and drilling operations will generate high-frequency noise. Low-noise equipment can be selected, sound insulation barriers can be set up around the drilling rig, and the operation time can be reasonably arranged to avoid the rest period of residents.

2. Dust Pollution and protection: During the drilling process, the movement of earthwork can easily generate dust. It is necessary to sprinkle water on the working surface to reduce dust. Operators should wear dust masks, and barriers should be set up at the construction site to reduce the spread of dust.

3. Water Pollution and Protection: Mud leakage or random discharge of construction wastewater can pollute water bodies. A closed mud circulation system should be established. Wastewater should be treated by sedimentation to meet standards before being discharged to prevent it from seeping into the ground and polluting water sources.

4. Soil Disturbance and Protection: Heavy pressure from drilling RIGS and earthwork excavation may cause soil compaction or loosening. Plan the walking route well before construction to avoid random rolling. After completion, backfill the soil in time and level the site.

5. Vegetation Damage and Protection: Site clearance and equipment parking may damage the surrounding vegetation. Try to minimize the occupied area. Transplant and protect the vegetation in the temporarily occupied area, and restore the vegetation coverage after construction.

6. Waste Impact and protection: Waste drilling cuttings, waste engine oil, etc. generated during construction should be stored separately and entrusted to professional institutions for compliant disposal. It is strictly prohibited to discard them at will to cause soil and environmental pollution.

In conclusion, the impact of rotary drilling rig construction on the environment is multi-dimensional, and targeted protective measures need to be taken. Through scientific planning, standardized operation and effective governance, the coordination between construction and environmental protection can be achieved, promoting the green and sustainable development of pile foundation projects.
