The most economical and widely used Fluid Formulation is using a naturally occurring Bentonite Mud as a Drilling Fluid medium. The Rheological Properties & formation of an impermeable Mud cake during excavation helps make it a widely accepted Fluid Formulation especially in loose / fractured Ground Formations.
Among the most recently used Fluid Formulations- a Polymer mud system- either Synthetic or Cellulosic may be proposed in situations where use of a Bentonite system may be deemed unsuitable together with its obvious technical advantages- such as its improved Foundation performance eg. in Load Testing of B-Piles, and its Environmental and Operational Benefits eg. minimal Site Equipment needed.
When necessary, a Bentonite or a Polymer Mud System may be recommended to be modified into a Mixed Mud System to suit the Technical requirements of a particular given Site. Expert Supervision and Technical Support is needed to manage such a Mud System.
