Exceptional Water Hammer Benefits
Traditional rotary drilling can struggle with deep, dense, and fractured rock formations, leading to slow penetration rates, excessive tool wear, and higher fuel costs. The Hanjin D&B Water Hammer solves these challenges by utilizing high-pressure water pulses to accelerate penetration rates, improve borehole stability, and extend tool life. Pairing the D&B-16W with Hanjin D&B’s advanced water hammer technology significantly enhances drilling speed, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. The high-impact reciprocating action of the water hammer reduces drilling resistance, allowing for faster penetration through dense rock formations while extending bit life by minimizing excessive wear. Unlike conventional drilling methods, which rely on mud-based systems that can contaminate aquifers, the water hammer operates with a clean water circulation system, ensuring environmental safety and reduced waste disposal costs. Additionally, this fuel-efficient technology lowers diesel consumption, cutting down on operational expenses while increasing the rig’s overall productivity.

The D&B-16W is more than just a deep drilling rig—it is a strategic investment for drilling contractors and energy developers looking to scale geothermal and water well operations efficiently and cost-effectively. Designed for high-throughput drilling, this rig significantly reduces the logistical and operational challenges associated with deep borehole projects. Its crawler-mounted mobility allows for easier site access, even in challenging terrain, while its fast setup time ensures minimal downtime between projects.
The Hydraulic Open-Loop System optimizes fluid power distribution, enhancing precision drilling control, particularly in formations where variable pore pressures or fractured rock zones pose challenges. Additionally, the rig’s modular design allows for seamless adaptation to different drilling methods, ensuring compatibility with various casing diameters and borehole configurations. The dual rotary system option further enhances its capability for large-diameter drilling, making it ideal for projects requiring wide casing installations.
With long-term durability in mind, the D&B-16W is engineered with reinforced structural components to withstand continuous drilling in high-density rock formations, reducing fatigue-related breakdowns and minimizing maintenance requirements. Its fuel-efficient powertrain and hydraulic efficiency lower overall diesel consumption, making it an environmentally responsible choice for operators looking to meet regulatory emissions standards. Whether deployed for municipal district heating wells, deep aquifer extractions, or high-capacity water well drilling, the D&B-16W ensures reliable performance across diverse geological settings, reducing both per-meter drilling costs and total project timelines.
