Description
The SMC Wireline Core Drilling System is specifically designed to enhance efficiency in deep drilling operations where conventional methods become impractical due to extended retrieval times. As drilling depths increase, the wireline system significantly reduces downtime by enabling core recovery without the need to remove the entire drill string—making it the preferred choice for operations exceeding 100 meters.
Today, wireline drilling is the standard approach in deep mineral exploration and geotechnical investigations, such as tunnel or dam site studies. The system is capable of reaching depths between 1,300 to 1,600 meters under normal conditions, and up to 2,500 meters in optimal environments with high-performance equipment and techniques.
The SMC wireline system includes specialized components to support efficient and reliable performance, such as:
-
Wireline Core Barrels: BWL, NWL, HWL, PWL
-
Specialty Core Barrels: Geo-Line 146S, CSK-146
-
Overshots: BWL; NWL-HWL-PWL; Horizontal drilling overshots (BWL-NWL-HWL-PWL); Short overshots for BWL-NWL-HWL-PWL
-
Special Overshots: Geo-Line 146S, CSK-146
-
Wireline Drill Rods
With these precision-engineered tools, the SMC system ensures high core recovery, operational safety, and cost-efficiency—making it a trusted solution for deep drilling applications across the mining and geotechnical sectors.
