Abstract (en)

On a self-moving means equipped with a rotating tower having a vertical translation device of a rotation head (1), a steel tubular body (2) is provided having axially a measure instrument to be lowered by a cable (3) driven by a winch hoist (4) to be fixed inside the tubular body (2) by means of a radial set of some projecting parts (5) inserted into a reference cavity (6) so fixing the instrument inside said tubular body (2). Said instrument is pushed in rotation downward while in its interspace (7) water is injected by a pump (8) having a duct (9) connected to the rotation head (1) of the tubular body (2). In the upper part an outside coaxial part (10) is provided to be solidly connected to the tubular body (2) having at the bottom the disgregation tool (11). A measure instrument is axially set on the outside coaxial part (10). Said measure instrument has on the upper part a collar bearing (12) and in the lower part an electronic measure element (13), formed by a drill. <IMAGE>
