01Borewell & Water-Well Drilling
Application
Borewell & Water Well Drilling
Borewell drilling can involve changing formations, variable water conditions, cuttings-management challenges and borehole stability requirements. MudX drilling polymers and supporting process chemicals can be selected to help manage fluid viscosity, cuttings transport and fluid-system behaviour.
Typical Considerations
- ✓ Borehole stability
- ✓ Cuttings transport
- ✓ Fluid loss
- ✓ Fluid viscosity
- ✓ Water quality
- ✓ Formation conditions
Suitable For
- ✓ Borewell drilling
- ✓ Water-well drilling
- ✓ Tubewells and irrigation wells
- ✓ Rotary drilling with water-based fluids
Application
Bored Piles & Foundation Works
Bored piling and deep foundation work depend on keeping the excavation stable and clean until concreting. MudX drilling polymers can be evaluated for water-based support fluids according to the drilling method, ground conditions and project requirements.
Typical Considerations
- ✓ Excavation stability
- ✓ Ground variability
- ✓ Cuttings and sand content
- ✓ Fluid properties
- ✓ Water chemistry
- ✓ Site-specific requirements
02Bored Piles & Foundation Works
Suitable For
- ✓ Bored cast-in-situ piles
- ✓ Rotary piling
- ✓ Deep foundations
- ✓ Drilled shafts
03Diaphragm Walls & Deep Excavation
Application
Diaphragm Walls & Deep Excavation
Diaphragm wall and deep excavation panels are typically excavated under a support fluid that needs to keep the trench stable until concreting. MudX polymers can be evaluated as part of the fluid system according to trench depth, ground and groundwater conditions and the project specification.
Typical Considerations
- ✓ Trench stability
- ✓ Groundwater conditions
- ✓ Fluid properties
- ✓ Cuttings and solids
- ✓ Fluid recycling
- ✓ Project specification
Suitable For
- ✓ Diaphragm walls
- ✓ Deep excavations
- ✓ Basement and station structures
- ✓ Retaining and cut-off walls
Application
HDD & Utility Crossings (Horizontal Directional Drilling)
Horizontal directional drilling for utility and pipeline installation requires drilling-fluid systems capable of supporting changing ground conditions and effective cuttings management. MudX drilling polymers can be evaluated according to soil conditions, water quality, drilling method and required fluid properties.
Typical Considerations
- ✓ Soil type
- ✓ Fluid viscosity
- ✓ Cuttings transport
- ✓ Fluid loss
- ✓ Bore stability
- ✓ Recycling and fluid management
04HDD & Utility Crossings
Suitable For
- ✓ Utility installation
- ✓ Telecoms & fibre routes
- ✓ Pipeline and river crossings
- ✓ Road and rail crossings
05Tunnelling, Microtunnelling & Pipe Jacking
Application
Tunnelling, Microtunnelling & Pipe Jacking
Trenchless tunnelling methods rely on fluid systems for excavation support and spoil transport. MudX products can be evaluated according to the tunnelling method, ground conditions, equipment and project requirements.
Typical Considerations
