How a Geological Drill Rig Works

A mobile geological drilling rig is used to investigate a huge landslide that was triggered by the 2016 Kaikōura Earthquake near Waiau, New Zealand.
James Chapman of CW Drill explains how the PQ coring system works. This sort of system is used for all sorts of geological research and minerals exploration.

How this landslide looks "scientifically" and the "technology" used - are delightful words to my ears 🤗

[@OutThereLearning]

Glad to delight you!

@@OutThereLearning😱 Omgosh - if you were to do a livestream Q & A I think I'd literally implode rofl (unsubtle hint 😁). I moderate on an Iceland volcano (Fagradalsfjall) live chat - @TokAir Iceland, youtube. If you get time it'd be beyond fabulous if you popped in to say hello (another unsubtle hint 😂) OK ok - there's a fine line between enthusiastic & pushy 🤣 She who dares - wins 😉 I just LOVE this channels content, format & "down to earth" presentation ( soz - couldn't resist the pun).

@@OutThereLearning 🙋Hello out there learning. I've sent an email to Tokolosh asking if it's OK to forward his email address to you. Tokolosh & family are shifting to Iceland in two weeks so he's very distracted at the moment. May take a day or several to hear back from him. I'll post his email address here if get confirmation. I look forward to seeing how it eventuates, it'd be super fabulous to have you as a guest! 👍

Love your enthusiasm!

[@joecruz2469]

What does HQ mean?.

[@cupwalker24.7]

This looks like our drilling locations in Pennsylvania ...you are either in the mountains or in some dumpy city drilling 🤣 usually sand stone , limestone or granite ..or at least thats what the geologist tells me haha I'm just the Dumb Driller....you guys have a very nice proper setup there 💪

Sonic drill rig would eat that ground up. Nice safety gear like not wearing gloves hmm yeah very professional.

Having a bad day?

[@LVNITUPM8]

@@dannydevito2989 no just pointing out the obvious that if you want to claim to be a professional company with multiple rigs running across the country you should start with basics like ppe but hey there will always be room for cowboys in the industry. Sounds like you might be one of those cowboys yeehaa!
