The limits of sonic drilling capabilities is still unknown. The drilling applications of Geothermal geo-loop installation and Water well drilling have been well-known already. Thanks to the contributions by sonic drilling, the labor and time for the operation are reduced. Sonic Grouting, Sonic Anchoring and Sonic Piling have been developing and new applications should be realized in the future.

Geothermal by SD-175 , SD-100 and SP-8000
Feedback from job sites:
“6-5/8” x 100 m hole was drilled just in 4 hours.”
“No need to case in Gravel and Boulder ground where other drills need to do to prevent the loss of drill mud and the collapse of the borehole wall.”

Geothermal by SD-175 , SD-100 and SP-8000
Capability to Drill and Case the hole simultaneously makes things different.
Drilling Procedure:
- Sonic Drilling up to the target depth
- Installation of Geo-loops
- Filling Gravel in Drill Pipe or Grouting
- Vibrating out Sonic Casing
Drill Strings for 100 m hole:TS 6-5/8" tool
- 6-5/8” Sonic Casing 3.0 m x 35 pcs
- 6-5/8” Sonic Casing 1.0 m x 5 pcs

Water well by SD-175 , SD-100 and SP-8000
Feedback from job sites:
“Drilling with 10-3/4”, 8-5/8” and 6-5/8” up to 165m was complete in 2 days.”
“Amazingly the amount of mud water is much smaller than the one by conventional drilling”
Boring speed is 3 – 5 times faster than conventional.
No water or less amount of water is only required by sonic drilling.
Drilling Procedure:
- Sonic Drilling up to 12 m x 10-3/4”for initial casing.
- Sonic Drilling up to 102 m x 8-5/8”
- Sonic Drilling up to 165 m x 6-5/8”
- Installation of PVC casing and screen inside Sonic Casing
- Removal of Sonic Casing & Filling Gravel

Geotechnical & Sampling by SD-175 , SD-100 and SP-8000
Feedback from job sites:
What impresses most people is the ability of sonic rig to drill dry. Because it is so much less intrusive, particularly when talking about Dam remediation.
Sonic rig allows us to drill much faster and cheaper, which keeps the per foot costs of drilling
Drilling Procedure:
- Core Barrel Advancement with Sonic Rod
- Over Casing (Sonic Casing)
- Core Retrieval
- Repeat Process
Drill Strings: SDC 6 x 8 tool
- 4-1/2" Sonic Rod
- 6-1/4" Core Barrel and Core Bit
- 8-5/8" Sonic Casing and Bit
Environmental by EP-26N , SP-8000 , SD-100 and SD-175
Feedback from job sites:
“Frequency is much smoother and Noise is much quieter other similar drill rigs.
The client require TONE-PROBE for the further units.”
More than 170 units of TONE-PROBE have been supplied in Japan.
It is one of the standard drill rigs for Environmental investigation in Japan.
Drilling Procedure:
- Sampling for 1.0 m
- Retrieving Sampler with sample
- Set Casing for 1.0 m
- Sampling for the next 1.0 m

- Casing Shoe
Grout & Anchor Hole by SD-100
Feedback from job sites:
“Much quieter than Hydraulic Drifter.
It can work in residential areas.”
“The capability to drill very straight hole is very helpful for the grout hole project which requires the accuracy of hole positions.”
Not only Vertical to 45°angle drilling.
SD-100 (33K) can drill Horizontally and up to upward 20°
Drilling Procedure:
- Sonic Drilling up to the target depth
