A vertical NQ borehole 700 m in depth was drilled<br />

from the starting point, which was the <strong>for</strong>mer mine fan<br />

workshop at the 440 m below sea level (b.s.l.). After the<br />

hole had been surveyed the diameter was taken out to<br />

96 mm. The borehole was then surveyed with a georadar<br />

probe (EMR). After the results had been processed the<br />

four deviation points were determined according to the<br />

geological requirements <strong>and</strong> technical possibilities.<br />

From this vertical <strong>drilling</strong> deviated holes – each with a<br />

down-the-hole motor <strong>and</strong> a deviation of about 2° over<br />

10 m – were drilled in the predetermined direction at<br />

four different levels, namely at 239 m, 117 m, 72 m <strong>and</strong><br />

69 m. A 500 m b.s.l. cored section was then drilled from<br />

a start channel using the wireline <strong>drilling</strong> technique.<br />

After encountering some initial problems in the vertical<br />

section all four deviated holes were completed to the<br />

full satisfaction of the client.<br />

Thyssen Schachtbau GmbH is looking <strong>for</strong>ward to<br />

further successful collaboration with K+S KALI GmbH<br />

on future projects.<br />
