ROC has expertise in non-vibratory drilling techniques and equipment. Non-vibratory equipment, including casing oscillators, casing rotators & reverse circulation drills, do not rely on hammering or vibration and offer a number of important benefits.

Reduces Impact on Surrounding Areas

Non-vibratory techniques can reduce the impact on surrounding areas, which is important when:

• Drilling in urban areas or near existing foundations and structures where vibrations can damage integrity of nearby structures

  • Example: Required to mitigate dust, vibration and sound impacts during airport construction

• Constructing a replacement structure, in advance of demolition of existing structure, without impeding current usage

  • Example: bridge replacement, reducing the impact of construction on the traveling public.

Reduces Environmental Concerns

Additionally, using non-vibratory techniques can reduce or in some cases eliminate impacts on the surrounding environment which allows for drilling in sensitive areas.

1. When utilizing a wet/slurry construction method, water alone can be used preventing contamination of surrounding soil.

2. Cuttings can easily be controlled and excavated soil can easily be placed in a truck or retaining pond for disposal, making for a cleaner job site. 

3. It has been studied that hammering and vibration create a sound in coastal conditions which hinders the sonar soundwaves used by marine animals to see and communicate. Oscillating eliminates this impact on marine life.
