What Are Some Life-saving Tips for Rotary Drilling Rig Construction

The construction environment of rotary drilling RIGS is complex and there are many potential risks. Mastering the key "life-saving skills" not only ensures construction safety but also takes responsibility for one's own and others' lives. Here are six core tips:

1. Comprehensive inspection before commencement: It is essential to inspect key components such as the structure of the drilling rig, the hydraulic system, and the steel wire rope to ensure there is no looseness or damage. Neglecting inspection may lead to component failure during construction, causing equipment overturning or falling accidents.

2. Carefully select the right construction site: Avoid soft soil layers, areas with dense underground pipelines, or beneath high-voltage lines. Unstable site conditions can easily cause the drilling rig to collapse. If it is too close to pipelines and high-voltage lines, it may lead to electric shock and explosion.

3. Operate the hydraulic system in a standardized manner: Avoid sudden pushing or pulling of the control lever during operation to prevent hydraulic shock from damaging components. A malfunction of the hydraulic system may cause the drill pipe to suddenly drop, endangering the people around.

4. Always keep an eye on the drilling status: During drilling, pay attention to the instrument data and the vibration of the drilling rig. Stop the machine immediately when encountering hard rock or isolated rocks for handling. Forced drilling can easily cause drill pipe breakage, overload of the drilling rig, and lead to equipment damage and personnel injury.

5. Take proper high-altitude protection measures: Operators must fasten their safety belts and no miscellaneous items should be placed on the top of the drilling frame. Falls from heights and object strikes are common risks. Inadequate protection can easily lead to fatal injuries.

6. Work must be resolutely halted in bad weather: In case of heavy rain, strong winds (wind speed exceeding 10.8m/s), etc., immediately evacuate and secure the drilling rig. Bad weather can undermine the stability of the site and increase the risk of equipment losing control.

In conclusion, the core of the "life-saving techniques" for rotary drilling rig construction lies in "prevention first and standardized operation". Only by strictly adhering to safety regulations and meticulously controlling every detail can risks be fundamentally avoided and construction safety be ensured.
