Rotary coring is an incredibly valuable method for sampling...
if you get it right

  • Rotary coring is a valuable method for collecting and studying geological samples, which can provide invaluable insights into subsurface conditions. This method, widely used worldwide, can be used to extract high-quality samples of both rock and soil, enabling accurate logging and comprehensive laboratory testing. However, the quality of the core can be compromised if not handled with care during extraction, storage, and transportation.

    To address this, this instructional video has been launched by the British Drilling Association (BDA), offering clear, practical guidance on maintaining the integrity of core samples post-recovery. The video highlights essential equipment, techniques, and safety measures that ensure the core remains in optimal condition for analysis and design purposes.
