The rotary boring method is a widely used drilling technique employed in geotechnical investigations, mineral exploration, water well drilling, and foundation construction. This method utilizes a rotating drill bit to penetrate various soil and rock formations efficiently. The continuous rotary action, combined with the use of drilling fluids, ensures stability and efficiency in the boring process.
Rotary boring operates on the principle of continuous rotation of a drill bit that cuts through the subsurface materials. The method relies on a drilling fluid (commonly known as drilling mud) to cool the drill bit, transport cuttings to the surface, and stabilize the borehole walls.
