In Slovenia, there is widespread use of structural drilling along with classical core drilling. Recently, however, the need has arisen for a highly effective core drilling method with the aid of which high-quality core might be obtained. In order to achieve this aim, one among several Slovenian companies dealing with geological surveying has decided to implement structural drilling using a high-frequency drilling method. The following article presents the theoretical foundations for such a high-frequency method, as well as the manner of its implementation. In the final part of the article, a practical comparison between the conventional and the high-frequency core drilling methods is also provided.Key words: structural drilling, high-frequency method, core drilling, sonic drilling
IzvlečekUporaba strukturnega vrtanja z uporabo klasičnega jedrovanja je v Sloveniji zelo razširjena. V zadnjem času pa se je pojavila potreba po visoko učinkoviti metodi jedrovanja s katero lahko pridobimo kvalitetno jedro. Za uresničitev tega se je eno izmed Slovenskih podjetij, ki se ukvarja z geološkimi raziskavami odločilo za izvajanje strukturnega vrtanja z uporabo visokofrekvenčne metode. V članku so prikazane teoretične osnove delovanja visokofrekvenčne metode in način njenega izvajanja. V zadnjem delu članka pa smo se posvetili praktični primerjavi med klasično in visokofrekvenčno metodo jedrovanja.Ključne besede: strukturno vrtanje, visokofrekvenčna metoda, jedrovanje
