4 O SonicSampDrill B.V. is a daughter company of Eijkelkamp Earth Sampling Group and the sister company of Eijkelkamp Agrisearch Equipment B.V. The former Director of Eijkelkamp Agrisearch Equipment, Fons Eijkelkamp and his son Huug, will further promote the SonicSampDrill drill and sampling system that was developed in Eijkelkamp in the eponymous company of SonicSampDrill B.V. SonicSampDrill is a unique concept for drilling and sampling that is characterised by speed and quality while causing next to no inconvenience to its environment or disturbance of the soil. Eijkelkamp Agrisearch Equipment already has experience with the Sonic, which was originally designed for seismic research since These days the advantages of the SonicSampDrill are also appreciated in geological and environmental technology. At the same the Sonic s speed and quality make it increasingly attractive to - for example - the archeological market. Obviously more possibilities are waiting to be discovered and developed. With the SonicSampDrill we can make sure that your opportunities in the market will take great strides when it comes to speeds and quality. The system At the heart of the sonic drilling system are the 2 ex-centres that are driven by high-speed hydro engines. The high frequency vibrations that are generated in this way are transferred in an efficient way to the drilling rods. This then has the effect of causing the first layer of surrounding soil around the borehole and drill string to become fluid. This process reduces the friction so that the Sonic bodies are able to rapidly penetrate sandy, gravely soils and clay. Drilling motor The sonic is also fitted with an integrated drilling motor enabling the drilling rods to be coupled or disconnected in no time. As soon as the desired depth has been reached with the drilling rods and the work has been carried out, the drilling rods need to be retrieved from the soil. At this point the special pulling wrench developed for 63 mm tooling can be attached to the Sonic with the use of an attachement. The hard steel fingers of the pulling wrench automatically grip behind the coupling. There is no manual screwing required for either coupling or disconnecting. If the hauling up is not managed by the machine itself, simply set the Sonic going. This helps retrieve any drill string from any depth out of the soil. This is a significant advantage over a method such as hydraulic hammering, for instance. Applications SonicSampDrill has many applications, such as: High-quality sampling for archeological purposes, sand dredging well studies or filtration research for drinking water, geophysical research, prospecting for minerals (e.g. gold veins). Placement of quality or Direct-well filters for environment research of water monitoring. Placement of various types of sensors, e.g. Divers from Van Essen Instruments. Placement of seismic explosive charges in the ground. Placement of aeration and/or rinsing hoses for remediation projects. Increasing the possibilities in terms of depth and diameter for cone penetration test machines. Placement of heat exchangers for sustainable energy applications. 3
