down-hole hammer drilling
down-hole hammer drilling A method of drilling a borehole using a pneumatic, percussive hammer drill. The rock is fragmented by repeated impaction presented directly to it. This produces a medium-diameter hole, but drilling speed is slow so that operating costs tend to be high. The method is often used in drilling holes for a pre-split surface, since such holes have to be precisely located. See PERCUSSION BORING.
