MINE BOREHOLES
Optimising safety and efficiency in the exploration of underground resources
Provides information on the condition of the terrain
One of the main objectives of mining boreholes to obtain core inside a mine is to provide information on the ground’s composition.
It also helps to improve safety in the workplace, minimising the risk of accidents and providing a safer working environment.
Drilling technique combining Wire-line and Reverse circulation
Using the Horizontal Drilling system employing the Wire-line method and reverse circulation, boreholes are drilled in the ground to obtain cores that provide information on the extraction of minerals and the correct direction in which mining operations should be carried out.
This drilling system offers full control over the drilling trajectory to reach specific zones of the site with high accuracy.
We drill boreholes in NQ and HQ diameters over 1,800 metres in length.
Uses
- Geological investigation for civil works
- Cavity and fracture detection
- Water table, intrusion and contaminant detection
- Geothermal and geophysical parameters
- Permeability tests: LUGEON and variable pressure
- Geometric position measurement of 3D boreholes with multi-shot probes
