Drilling-101: Cable percussion drilling

This is part of a new series of videos we have launched covering safe and effective drilling on geo-environmental and geotechnical site investigations. This video showcases our Dando 2000 cable percussion rig using six inch tools to drill through glacial deposits and into the underlying marl.

Does anybody knows if this method is still in use, or rotary drilling is the only method now? I would be very pleased if someone answers.

[@markcc99]

Yes it is widely still used in the UK ground investigation industry.
