4. METHOD OF STABILIZING THE BOREHOLES
• Drill Mud
• The drill mud is pumped down the drill rod and exits through
the drill bit.
• It lubricates the bit, cools it, and carries cuttings to the surface.
The mud also provides hydrostatic pressure to prevent collapse.
• Advantages: Effective in various soil types, including hard
formations.
• Limitations: Requires proper management and disposal of used
mud.
