    • GEO-TECHNICAL DRILLS

    QXW Series

    QXW Series Geo-Technical drills are used primarily for drilling grout-curtains.

    Cubex first developed the QXW drill for the pilot project at McCook Reservoir in 2003 with Toronto-based Advanced Construction Techniques Ltd, (A.C.T). The US Army Corps of Engineers Chicago district used multiple in-hole surveying tools and production drilling data to analyze the drilling methods. From the results of the test holes, the Cubex/Wassara AB percussion drilling method was recommended by the US Army Corps over core or rotary drilling.

    The QXW 810 & 1210 are track drills with a frame-mounted feed system that drills with a Wassara AB DTH Hammer using high-pressure water from the on board 85gpm (322 l/min) or 120gpm (454 l/min) water pump system at 207 bar (3000 psi).
