What Should Be Noted When Moving A Rotary Drilling Rig During Operation

The operators of rotary drilling RIGS all know that although moving a site may seem ordinary, it actually hides many tricks. The slightest negligence will not only delay the construction period but also may cause safety accidents. Now let's talk about the six key points to note when moving a rotary drilling rig during construction.

1. Comprehensive equipment inspection: Before the transfer, it is essential to check whether all components of the drilling rig are firmly connected, whether there is any leakage in the hydraulic pipelines, and whether the steel wire ropes are worn. Any minor issue may escalate during transportation and affect subsequent construction.

2. Reasonable disassembly and transportation: Large rotary drilling RIGS need to be disassembled before transportation. The disassembly sequence should be planned in advance, and the components should be marked and protected properly. When loading the vehicle, pay attention to maintaining a balanced center of gravity and ensuring it is firmly fixed to avoid jolting and shifting.

3. Route planning in advance: Inspect the transportation routes in advance, confirm the height and weight restrictions for Bridges and tunnels, and avoid narrow sections and Bridges with load restrictions. It is also necessary to pay attention to the weather and traffic conditions and formulate alternative routes.

4. Complete documents and procedures: Prepare necessary documents such as the over-limit transportation pass and cooperate with the traffic management department for inspection. Only by driving legally and complicatedly can one avoid being seized and wasting time on the way.

5. Dedicated vehicle supervision: During transportation, a dedicated person will be assigned to follow the vehicle and keep a close eye on the equipment's condition at all times. When encountering bumpy sections or sharp turns, promptly remind the driver to slow down to prevent damage to the equipment.

6. On-site positioning and commissioning: After arriving at the new construction site, install and debug the drilling rig in accordance with the specifications, conduct no-load trial operation, check the operation of each system, and ensure that the equipment can be quickly put into construction.

The transfer stage is an important step that connects the upper and lower parts in the operation of rotary drilling RIGS. By doing well in the above six points, the safety of the equipment can be guaranteed to the greatest extent, time costs can be saved, and the construction can be smoothly connected. Remember, details determine success or failure. Treating every relocation with meticulousness is being responsible for the quality and efficiency of the project.
