What Details Should Be Noted When Parking A Rotary Drilling Rig

Stopping a rotary drilling rig may seem simple, but in fact, it hides many key details. Improper operation may affect the service life of the equipment and even cause safety hazards. Now I'll tell you the key points you must pay attention to when parking.

1. Choose a good parking lot: Try to park on flat and solid ground, and avoid soft and sloping areas. Soft ground is prone to cause equipment to sink, while slopes may cause rotary drilling RIGS to slide or tip over.

2. Correct parking posture: After parking, retract the drill pipe vertically and place it on the ground to lower the center of gravity of the entire machine and distribute it evenly. Before turning off the engine, ensure that all working devices are in a non-working state.

3. Implement braking measures: Pull up the handbrake. If possible, use wedges to support the tracks or tires to prevent the equipment from sliding accidentally. Especially when parking on a slope, multiple braking is even more necessary.

4. Shut down related equipment: Cut off all power supplies, shut down the hydraulic system to prevent accidents caused by circuit faults or hydraulic leakage, and at the same time avoid unnecessary energy consumption.

5. Check the equipment status: After parking, check for any oil leakage, loose components, etc. Record and handle them in a timely manner to ensure that the equipment is in good condition when it is started next time.

6. Take proper protective measures: Set up warning signs in the parking area to prevent unauthorized personnel from approaching. If the equipment is to be parked for a long time, a protective cover can be added to prevent the components from aging due to sun exposure and rain.

Every detail of the shutdown of a rotary drilling rig is related to the safety and lifespan of the equipment. Remember these key points and carefully carry out all the operations during parking. This can not only effectively reduce equipment failures but also ensure construction safety, providing a reliable guarantee for the subsequent work.
