dth bits and hammers

DTH drilling refers to a method where the drilling bit is located at the end of a drill string, below the surface of the ground. This technique is distinguished by the use of high-performance percussion hammers, which are positioned on the drill bit. DTH drilling involves the use of compressed air to deliver rapid impacts, breaking rock into smaller fragments. This method is particularly effective in hard rock formations, making it a preferred choice for mining operations and various drilling applications.

At its core, submarine hammer drilling employs a powerful hammer mechanism to drive a drill bit into the seabed. The system utilizes both air and water pressure to deliver repeated impacts on the drill bit, which enables it to break through hard rock formations or sediments that might hinder installation efforts for marine infrastructure. The design of the hammer ensures that the energy is efficiently transmitted to the drill bit, allowing it to operate at significant depths.
