Prism Directional Wedge

The Prism Directional Wedge is used for directional deflection of drill holes. This wedge is used to deflect a hole towards a specific direction, after it has been surveyed. Made of premium materials and using precision machining, the Prism Directional Wedge is available in N and H sizes. It helps drilling teams save a tremendous amount of time by reducing the number of down the hole trips while wedging.

 

MAIN BENEFITS

  • Minimize downtime by reducing the number of trips required to deflect a hole.
  • In optimal conditions, achieve a minimum deflection of 1.5 degrees.
  • Ability to set the wedge at any depth in suitable ground without any prior hole preparation.
  • Safe wedge installation du to is key way system, built directly into the wedge facet

Diamond drillers can fall into a routine of using the same equipment over and over. Why not? If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it. This is especially true if you are used to drilling in the same region where ground conditions may not vary all that much. However, you may then find yourself drilling in another part of the country, or the world, with conditions that require a different type of equipment.

In order to be able to get good drilling performance, diamond drillers should have a thorough understanding of their drilling equipment. They should be familiar with the individual pieces, their function and how they work together as part of the drilling process. The core barrel plays an important role as this is what you use to recover core. Today, most diamond drillers use wireline core barrels.

In an earlier blog, we looked at the core barrel assembly, this being the equipment that is used to recover core, and plays a very important role in the diamond drilling operation. The success of an operation depends on retrieving core efficiently and effectively. We looked at the parts of the inner tube of which the head assembly is a part. It is a complex part so it is well worth looking at it in detail.
