Dear all
I´m currently working on the design of a subsea apparatus which should be able to I) drill a hole of about 50 - 60 mm (diameter) in granite, II) place an anchor (a T-bolt or a rock bolt (mechanical or friction type)) and, III) fixate the anchor (by for example grouting or by fixating the mechanical rock bolt). This all has to be performed at a water depth of maximum 100 meters without the need of a diver. The maximum load on the anchor is 40 tons. I prefer to not use grouting or epoxy as this complicated the device.
Although I have knowledge on subsea hardware engineering, I do not have knowledge on: A) hard rock drilling (equipment) and B) (hard rock) anchoring. Therefore I am looking for people, companies, knowledge and or technology that could be useful. Can someone give some suggestions as where to look?
Thank you very much,
Peter
