How it works
Sonic is an advanced form of drilling that uses high frequency resonance energy generated in the SONIC HEAD to drive a drill string/core cylinder into geological formations. During drilling, the resonance energy with high frequencies is transmitted to the drilling surfaces via the drill string. By simultaneously rotating the drill string, energy and impact are evenly distributed.

Sonic drilling rigs
One technology, freedom of choice
While the Conrad Boxer 150 drill rig demonstrates perfect integration, our vision extends further. We believe that sonic technology should be accessible to the entire market. That is why TALPA sonic drill heads are designed for use on rigs from various manufacturers.
Whether you opt for the complete concept from Conrad Stanen, collaborate with another manufacturer, or wish to upgrade your existing fleet (retrofit): TALPA's sonic technology is universally applicable.
