Stenuick was the precursor of the drilling method with simultaneous casing system by rotation: the SATURN system (see drilling machine FORTRACK 100HDT Double Head).
Originally, this system was conceived to face the problems of drilling in covering grounds (little stones, clays, sands, elevations, alluviums, ...). It allows the drilling with the dth hammer while going down a casing simultaneously.
Two systems are available this day : the casing system by rotation called SATURNE and the casing system by impulse of the hammer on the casing shoe called STENTUB or more collectively ODEX or TUBEX.
Some examples of applications with the simultaneous casing system :
- Water well drilling (consolidation of shaft heads, exclusion of polluted groundwaters, ...)
- Geothermal drilling
- Civil engineerings (anchorings, injections, crossing of road, ...)
- Mining investigation (front-hole for core sampling, study of groundwaters, ...)
