Conclusion
Drilling and coring in rock

Drilling and coring methods have evolved considerably thanks to technological advances and a better understanding of geological conditions. The adaptation of techniques such as rotary drilling and the ODEX method, as well as the use of sophisticated coring tools, improve efficiency, reduce costs and guarantee the quality of the samples taken. The control of drilling parameters and the appropriate use of drilling mud are also crucial to the success of operations. These developments continue to reinforce the role of drilling in civil engineering, ensuring solid foundations and sustainable infrastructures.
