Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3199709A1] A drilling assembly (2) for forming an annular cavity in a substrate is disclosed. The drilling assembly comprises an annular inner pile (6) including a first annular part (10), an annular outer pile (4) including a second annular part (8) and cutters (16) mounted to an end of the inner pile. The first annular part is located inside the second annular part, and the cutters are moveable relative to the inner pile between a first condition, in which rotation in a first direction of the inner pile causes the cutters to form an annular cavity in the substrate, and a second condition, in which the inner pile and the cutters can be removed from the cavity while leaving the outer pile in the cavity.
