The present invention relates to an underwater rock boring apparatus
having differential global positioning system receiver and boring method
thereof, new boring technology--a satellite navigation device orients the
accurate position of a target--is brought to the underwater boring
technology.A differential global positioning system (DGPS) receiver is
provided at the body of a boring machine that is installed at the central
opening of a self elevation platform (SEP) barge, the location of the
boring machine is set to concentricity of the target boring position, and
the position of the hull can be controlled without any movement of the
boring machine. Then, the barge quickly moves to the next target boring
location owing to the operation of a hull moving means so that the
construction efficiency of the boring work can be enhanced.
