Abstract
A drilling machine and method of removing a material from a surface therewith including a frame, a drill secured to the frame, means for removably coupling the frame to a first anchor point comprising a first vehicle adapted to transport the frame, optional means for removably coupling the frame to a second anchor point, and means for forcing the frame in a direction away from the surface such that the frame is rigidly secured between the surface and at least the first anchor point.
Claims25
A drilling machine comprising:
- a frame;
- a drill secured to the frame and configured for removing a material from a surface;
- means for removably coupling the frame to a first anchor point comprising a first vehicle adapted to transport the frame;
- optional means for removably coupling the frame to a second anchor point;
- and
- means for forcing the frame in a direction away from the surface such that the frame is rigidly secured between the surface and at least the first anchor point.
A method of removing material from a surface using a drilling machine comprising a frame and a drill secured to the frame, the method comprising:
- removably but rigidly coupling the frame to a first anchor point comprising a first vehicle adapted to transport the frame;
- optionally removably but rigidly coupling the frame to a second anchor point;
- providing a force on the frame in a direction away from the surface such that the frame is rigidly fixed between the surface and at least the first anchor point;
- and
- operating the drill to perform a drilling process to remove the material from the surface.
