    he STRATEX drilling system provides efficient and reliable drilling through the most difficult and

    challenging environments. Formations previously thought impractical or impossible can be drilled to


    greater depths and larger diameters than with conventional drilling methods. Borings and well installations in areas with boulders, cobbles, fractured volcanic, gravels or alternating formations are installed
    in an efficient and cost effective manner.
    The STRATEX system consists of a non-rotating flush-threaded casing driven by a pnuematic down-hole
    hammer in conjunction with a retractable, under-reaming carbide drill bit. Drill cuttings are removed
    from the hole by the bit rotation and air circulation. The material is discharged through a hose to a cyclone, which separates the air from the for-
