If shrinkage happens during drilling, what are the implications?
Quality Issues and Observations
When conducting a borehole inspection, the probe may encounter blockages at certain depths, preventing a smooth inspection of the hole’s bottom. Additionally, the diameter of the borehole might be smaller than the design specifications, or it may decrease progressively from a certain depth.
Causes
Presence of Weak Geological Layers: Weak layers in the geological structure can be compressed into the borehole due to earth pressure, resulting in a shrinkage hole.
Expansion of Plastic Soil: In geological structures, when plastic soil comes into contact with water, it can expand and create shrinkage holes.
Drill Wear: If the drill wears out too quickly and is not repaired or welded in a timely manner, shrinkage holes may form.
Preventive Measures
Monitor Geological Data: Pay close attention to geological drilling data and soil quality changes. If weak layers or plastic soils are identified, ensure frequent cleaning of the borehole.
Regular Drill Inspections: Frequently check the drill’s condition and perform timely repairs or welding when wear is detected. After repairing or welding, ream the drill to ensure it meets the design pile diameter.
Treatment Measures
If shrinkage holes occur, use the drill to repeatedly clean the borehole until the diameter meets the design specifications.

Wear of the crawler track. Wear between the track pin and the pin bushing is inevitable, but this wear will stretch the track pitch and make the track too large. If this wear continues, the track will move sideways, causing wear on the idler, track rollers, and sprockets, while also exacerbating the wear on the track pin and bushing.
In the grand blueprint of infrastructure construction, every rotary drilling rig plays a crucial role. But have you ever wondered why some equipment can operate consistently and efficiently under harsh working conditions, while others frequently malfunction? The answer often lies in unnoticed details, such as the unsung hero of the rotary drilling rig – the chain guard.
