OVERVIEW

Drilling Buckets

Drilling buckets are used for drilling in cohesive and non-cohesive soil below groundwater level. Drilling buckets are suitable for breaking and ripping hard soil up to medium hard rock. Drilling Buckets boast a heavy duty construction and come fitted with a Kelly Box (drive hub) to suit your machine.

The combination of the drilling fluid and the side cutting teeth producing an oversized borehole, along with the fact that the drill cuttings are removed via the drill bucket, produces a well that is not smeared with the annulus of the borehole or drilling fluid, or with suspended solids that could "cake" or produce lower yielding water wells. This makes the bucket drilling method a viable option in a variety of soil conditions.
