Submarine hammer drilling, often referred to as underwater percussion drilling, is an advanced technique utilized primarily in marine construction and resource exploration. This method combines the principles of traditional drilling with hydraulic and pneumatic operations, enabling the effective penetration of hard substrates beneath the sea floor. In this article, we will explore the processes, equipment, advantages, and applications of submarine hammer drilling.

The DTH hammer operates through compressed air, which is pumped through a series of valves and chambers within the hammer. When the air pressure builds up, it drives a piston that strikes the drill bit, creating a powerful force that breaks the material. This process continues in rapid succession, allowing the drill bit to penetrate the ground efficiently. The design of the DTH hammer allows for a larger drop height of the piston than traditional rotary drills, resulting in higher impact energy and better drilling performance.
