COMPANY PROFILE
Dutch Drilling Consultants (DDC) is specialized in
large diameter drilling. To execute the drillings we
have a fleet of different types of pile top drilling
rigs to our disposal.
DDC is active in different markets varying from
onshore, near shore to offshore. For example we
drill foundations for offshore wind farms, bridges,
jetties, oil/gas platforms and ventilation shafts for
tunnels.
Drilling is our core business, but we do also con-
sultancy and engineering of foundation drilling
projects. You can also hire drilling personnel.
Our office is in Waddinxveen, the Netherlands and
our yard is in Ridderkerk, near the Rotterdam har-
bor. At the yard we assemble the constructions
and make the equipment ready for transport to
projects all over the world.

HISTORY
Ad Kamp founded in 1987 Kamp Drilling Consult-
ants B.V. The first project was the Goodwyn “A”
Platform. After acquisition of Drilcon Benelux in
1998 it became Dutch Drilling Consultants BV. It is
a family owned and operated business, in 2015 Ad
Kamp handed the company over to his sons.

In 1994 the company bought the first two pile top

drilling rigs, many more followed. In 2011 our
technical department developed and realized the
first Self Supporting Drilling Unit, the PBA 1450, in
the world.

In 2005 we did our first Offshore Wind Farm

(OWF) project, the Burbo bank in England. Many
more followed. On this moment we are the market
leader in drilling foundations OWF.

TURNKEY DRILLING
Working together with our clients from tender
phase until execution, we are always looking for
the right drilling services to supply and creating
every time the best final product for our client.
This can vary from a common approach with the
client during the design phase in order to obtain
the ideal synergy between soil data, required
equipment and end result up to emergency assis-
tance during unexpected problems.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
One of our services is that we provide project
management, meaning that we take care of the
planning, organizing and securing of the resources
to fulfill a successful completion of the clients spe-
cific project goals and objectives.
We can provide the drill rig with the drilling per-
sonnel, but we can also look at a project specific
sequence and are able to adjust the equipment to
optimize this.
For example we can provide a small auxiliary
crane on the drill rig so that the main crane is
available for other work. This is an easy example
but we also sit down with our clients prior to the
job at hand. We then manage the project planning
and execution together with the client.
We have experience with creating the right equip-
ment for assemblage in the rough environment.
We also created a sequence for, at that time, the
longest bridge of the world, where four rigs
worked simultaneously from two jack up barges.
Those examples emphasize the view of DDC that
every project requires a different approach and
tailor-made equipment.

PILE TOP DRILL RIGS

DCC has chosen for MHWirth pile top drill rigs. The
PBA drill rigs are robust and very reliable. These
drill rigs have operated in artic and dessert envi-
ronments. DDC owns several types of drill rigs,
also the in cooperation with MHWirth build flagship
the PBA 1450.

REVERSE CIRCULATION
Reverse Circulation Drilling (RCD) also known as
airlift, is a system which brings the cuttings to the
surface. Compressed air is injected into the drill
pipe below water level, just above the drill bit.
Because off difference in density the mixture of
water, air and cuttings is flushed out of the drill
string through the discharge.

Innovation
Our engineering department solved many prob-
lems and demands of the civil and offshore mar-
ket. DDC is an innovating company, wich is alble
to react quickly to unforeseen challenges with
sound solutions. Below a selection of our solutions.

VIBRATING AND DRILLING

In cooperation with PVE, DDC developed a method
to vibrate and by refusal drilling method for giant
monopiles. To lift the vibro and drill rig together
on the pile a lot of handling time can be saved.

STAND ALONE SYSTEM

In close cooperation with MHWirth, DDC designed
the first stand alone drill rig PBA 1450 in the
world. More information you find under drill rigs of
this brochure.

J-TUBE HOLE CLOSURE CLAMP

Some monopiles designs have openings for the
electric cables. For airlift drilling we need a closed
circuit otherwise the discharge is not working. The
J-tube hole closer clamp covers these holes.

E XTENDABLE ARMS
Lot of Wind farm projects nowadays use differ-
ent sizes of monopiles. The diameter at the top
is still the same for installing the MP but the
diameter at the bottom differ. DDC designed a
BHA which can drill these monopiles. For exam-
ple DDC designed a BHA for Baltic 2 OWF which
consist of five different diameters.

PILE CUTTING
After the lifetime of offshore structures, decom-
missioning becomes more and more important.
The structures are (grouted) stiff in the seabed.
These structures can not be pulled out easily.
DDC can drill out jacket- or mono- piles. Under
seabed the cutting tool with is part of de drill
string cuts the pile. So that the structure can
be taken away.

Drill rig and foundation type:
PBA 936, OWF monopile, ø6500-4600mm

The Baltic 2 project consist of 41 jackets en 39

monopiles. DDC was standby for the event the
monopiles could not reach the final depth by vibra-
tion. Due the different depth of water, each mono-
pole is produced with different dimensions. There
are in total 5 different diameters. The engineering
department of DDC designed a Bottom Hole As-
sembly which could drill all of the different diame-
ters. For this project we used the PBA 936.
Baltic 2 is the first project where they used XXL
monopiles. The biggest pile was 73,5 meters long
and weighted 930 ton.

April – June 2014, April – June 2015
Drill rig and foundation type:
PBA 408, 612. Jackets and mooring anchors

SARB is a new field development off the northwest

coast of Abu Dhabi. Oil and gas winning will be
performed from two artificial islands (SARB1 and
SARB2) with the well fluids sent by subsea pipeline
to a facility on Zirku Island for processing, storage,
and export.
Near each island we drilled the holes for flare and
riser platform jackets. Valentine Marine used there
own PBA 408 drill rig which were operated by DDC
personnel. The jackets had straight legs. First the
pilot hole was drilled, after that the hole was made
wider by the air driven under-reamer.
For a SPM Buoy system we drilled the anchoring
piles with the PBA 612. All operations where done
from the barge DLB 1600 .

Arab PY-1 Gas field is the southernmost of the four

sedimentary basins located along the eastern mar-
gin of India. It is bounded in the south by the Sri-
lanka basement massif and in the north and west
by the Indian Craton. The job consisted Transpor-
tation & Installation (T&I) of the PY-1 Sun Well-
head Platform.
The PBA810 with 180 meter drill string with a
1240mm diameter Bottom Hole Assembly was on
board as a contingency for the pile driving, for soil
plug removal. If the piles could not be driven to
the required depth drilling will be required to re-
duce friction to reach finale penetration with ham-
mering.

Herbosch-Kiere Marine Constructors was awarded

for the 35 m extension to the Dover ports Pier E.
The extension is to cater for larger ferries that are
expected to enter into service in 2011. The works
consist of installing a 4 m diameter x 46 m long
fendered monopole and a concrete deck suspend-
ed on 6 steel monopiles 1,2 m diameter.

The job for the 4m monopile was carried out with

the PBA 936. The 6 smaller monopiles where exe-
cuted with the PBA 815 using a drill bit of 1100
mm diameter. Both PBA’s are hydraulically driven
by a powerpack and works with the reversed airlift
drilling principal for soil removal.

Carolina Bridge
Client:
Ministry of Public Works of Surinam
Contractor:
Ballast Nedam
Location:
Suriname river, Surinam
Date:
May 2014 – August 2014
Drill rig and foundation type:
PBA 810, bridge and collision piles

The Carolina bridge cross the Suriname River near

the village of Redi Dati some 50 km south of the
capital city Paramaribo. The bridge has a total
length of 204 m divided in 2 spans. The foundation
design consists of foundation piles of the bridge
pier in the river to support the bridge and founda-
tion piles of the eastern and western abutment.
The bridge pier is protected with an collisions con-
struction. In the past there where several bridges
hit in the fast streaming Surinam river by boats.
For this project we used our PBA 810 drill rig. We
could use one diameter BHA for all the piles. For
drilling the middle pier and the collision construc-
tion we operated from a barge.

Parking garage Anna van Bueren

Client:
SNS Property Finance and Fortress
Main contractor:
Ballast Nedam
Location:
The Hague, The Netherlands
Date:
September 2009 – October 2009
Drill rig and foundation type:
PBA 810, piles

Two of the foundation piles were leaking and due

to the groundwater pressure 20 cubic meter sand
was pushed out thru these piles. To prevent more
sand coming out a grout plug was placed. When
this grout plug had to be removed for inserting
tension piles DDC was requested to do so.
A backyard game for DDC, while normally working
all over the world this was a new experience. In
the middle of the city center we drilled out the 2
grout plugs giving the client the option to complete
their job. Working on this small jobsite asked for
special solutions for mobilization and preparation.
Also a closed circulation system for the discharge
and water supply was made.
