Elevator Jack Holes Photos

In some cases we are able to set elevator casings with cylinder and pit channels into, and on top of, our casing. This not only saves a lot of time, but using a single piece produces a better ride quality for the elevator.

This is an elevator jack hole drilled through solid granite at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. We drilled a jack hole that was 24″ diameter x 50′ deep.

Often when coring rock we save a lot of time by removing the entire core, rather than changing tools, and drill back out with a rock auger or drilling bucket.
