A top drive is a mechanical device on a drilling rig and can be made up of one or multiple motors, whether it’s hydraulic or electric. The motors are then connected to the drill string through a short component called the quill.
There are many advantages to using a Top Drive Piling Rig. In this article, we are going to be guiding you through some of the advantages and why they are great for piling in construction. So, let’s jump right into it…
- Top drives have improved the drilling and piling industry. They make the use of rigs so much safer and more efficient. Top drives also allow targets to be in reach easier if they were more difficult to reach with other machinery.
- Top drive rigs are much more time efficient. Top drives can save money and precious project time which is essential if you’re on a budget or need the project done under a strict time limit. By using one of these drilling rigs, you can save a lot of manual labour time and focus on other things as well. This was one of our main reasons for investing in this piece of equipment.
- A top drive will allow a drill rig to go deeper than a standard rotary table rig which can only dig down to 30 feet sections at a time. A top drive can dig a section down between 60 and 90 feet! It’s a much more convenient and efficient tool.
- The final advantage we are going to share with you today is how much safer top-drive piling rigs are compared to other piling rig machinery. Using a top drive rig avoids any possible dangerous task that is performed while working.
