Specific LRS drilling rig

The Sonic LRS (LargeRotoSonic) range of drilling rigs, are equipped with the powerful Sonic LS 50k drill head but have a more powerful motor to offer superior performance to the MRS range, allowing deeper and/or wider drilling. They are generally designed to specification, with many specific configurations possible (integrated with excavator, container, etc.).

The Sonic LRS drills with the Sonic LS 50k drill head feature a larger chassis and a more powerful motor to deliver even greater performance than the MRS range, allowing for larger diameter and, more importantly, deeper drilling up to 300 metres (or more depending on conditions).

In addition to the usual advantages of the Sonic method, the productivity here is even higher and quite simply remarkable. Just one example, drilling in the Port of Amsterdam in 200mm diameter: 55m/hour...!

Destructive drilling is therefore even faster while retaining the main advantages of the Sonic method (extreme straightness, little injection, etc.) and avoiding the costly and noisy use of a compressor (air drilling is also possible if required). This is why these models are increasingly popular for foundation drilling, especially with the Excavator configuration, which allows for multi-angle drilling on all faces, even on an inverted slope.

In coring, samples can reach diameters of up to 7" (178mm) and even more with the special Sonic corers, which are always of the highest quality even in alluvial or mixed soils. Dry coring (without injection) can also be carried out for all types of environmental drilling and/or in polluted areas, nuclear, oil sites etc...

LRS drills can be offered on truck, excavator, crawler or on a chassis (Head+Powerpack) integrated into a specific carrier.

The LRS range of drills are available with a CAT 355 HP 6 cylinder diesel engine.
