Desert geology presents unique challenges for construction projects, including loose sands, shifting soil layers, and extreme temperatures. Rotary drilling rigs, including second-hand rotary drilling rigs and reconditioned rotary drilling rigs, have proven to be effective tools for handling these conditions. This article examines how SANY used rotary drilling rigs and XCMG used rotary drilling rigs perform in such harsh environments.
The loose and shifting sands in deserts make it difficult to stabilize equipment. Additionally, variable soil layers—ranging from fine sand to compacted silt—require adaptable and precise drilling techniques. SANY used rotary drilling rigs are equipped with advanced stabilization systems to counteract these challenges.
To perform efficiently in deserts, rigs must possess:
A recent project in the Middle East utilized XCMG used rotary drilling rigs for constructing deep foundations in sandy terrain. The rigs’ advanced angle adjustment and real-time monitoring systems allowed operators to navigate shifting sands and maintain borehole precision.
When selecting equipment for desert projects, it’s essential to:
