Conventional Core Barrels

In certain drilling projects, such as short hole applications and geotechnical projects, an elaborate wireline system may not be required and conventional coring systems can still be an appropriate choice.

Fordia provides Conventional coring systems in standard DCDMA sizes.

All parts can be purchased separately so you can easily maintain your system. To obtain a larger core sample with a standard hole diameter, NV2 (thin kerf) conventional coring systems are recommended.

Ground Abrasiveness

Mineral Exploration

Abrasiveness is a ground condition that can cause headaches among many drillers. It can be difficult to drill through when present in any hardness of ground. Abrasive ground and rock can wear down drill bits quickly and in the case of hard abrasive ground, iron ore poses a particular problem and is often referred to as a bit cemetery.
