The Progressive History of Rotary Drilling RIGS

Rotary drilling RIGS, as powerful assistants in modern building foundation construction, play a crucial role in the field of engineering construction. Its development process is like a wonderful chapter where technological progress and engineering demands interweave.

1. Originating in the United States: Before World War II, the Calvert Company in the United States was the first to introduce the rotary drilling rig, pioneering this type of highly efficient drilling equipment. The design at that time laid the initial foundation for subsequent development.

2. Evolution in Europe: After World War II, Europe took over the development. In 1948, the Italian company Met devoted itself to the research and development, and then Germany and others joined in. Through continuous optimization, the performance of the equipment was improved, such as enhancing the power system, etc.

3. Japan's Take-off: In the 1970s and 1980s, Japan vigorously developed rotary drilling rig technology, naming it the rotary bucket pile (Astley method). By improving the drilling tools and other means, the equipment could better adapt to the complex local geological conditions.

4. Initial Entry into China: In the early 1980s, China introduced working equipment from Japan and embarked on the path of contact with rotary drilling RIGS. Later, Tianjin Prospecting Machinery Factory and others attempted to introduce and digest foreign technologies. Although they did not achieve large-scale mass production, they accumulated valuable experience.

5. Domestic Breakthrough: In 1998, XCMG successfully developed the first truly meaningful rotary drilling rig in China. Since then, enterprises such as Sany Heavy Industry and Sanyo Intelligent have also made efforts. Domestic rotary drilling RIGS have gradually risen to prominence, with their performance continuously improving and their market share gradually expanding.

6. Technological Innovation: Currently, rotary drilling RIGS are moving towards intelligence and environmental protection. For instance, Yutong Heavy Industry has launched the world's first motor-driven pure electric rotary drilling rig, reshaping equipment with electric technology, which is energy-efficient and highly precise.

From its inception to today's intelligent and environmentally friendly equipment, the progress history of rotary drilling RIGS has witnessed the vigorous development of global engineering technology. Under the relay research and development efforts of different countries and regions, it has continuously broken through technical bottlenecks, meeting increasingly complex engineering demands. In future engineering construction, it is bound to continue to evolve and create more value.
