Geothermal drilling involves drilling a hole into the ground to extract the latent heat energy stored within. Drilling for geothermal energy involves drilling to various depths in various formations. Geothermal energy is one of the cleanest sources of energy available, and it works year round. Even in the middle of winter, the earth remains approximately 10° C (50° F) less than 3m deep (10 ft) in most places around the world.

Geothermal drilling involves drilling a conventional drill hole often by rotary drilling. Drilltech International can supply most of the drilling tools required to drill a geothermal hole. Once the hole is drilled, you would install a closed loop or open loop ground source heat pump. This would use the ground as a heat exchanger to warm and cool a building or structure. We offer services for geothermal drilling equipment, geothermal drilling tools, rotary drilling tools and more.

Geotechnical drilling is associated with constructing buildings and site investigation. In construction, geotechnical drilling is often used to prepare foundations. It is also used to take core samples and is often done with mud or air rotary drilling as well as both hollow stem augers and solid flight augers. Drilltech International offers a wide range of products from geotechnical drilling tools and geotechnical drilling equipment to custom drilling tools.

At Drilltech International we know how frustrating it can be when contractors encounter large volumes of groundwater on their geothermal projects. The effect on productivity due to the increased backpressures encountered in these circumstances is very significant. With conventional DTH tooling production rates slow dramatically increasing the cost of these projects exponentially. Drilltech International has developed DTH technologies that significantly improve the performance characteristics of our DTH hammers and bits when large amounts of water and backpressures are encountered. Drilltech International geothermal DTH Hammers and Bits offer the lowest energy consumption and highest productivity in the industry. Put Drilltech International to the test for your next geothermal project.
