Drilling companies WA can be found easily through the Internet. However, all of them do not provide the same quality services. It is important to select a drilling company with experience and resources. Experienced drilling contractors provide drilling services that meet the highest industry standards.
Aircore Drilling
This drilling method is suitable for first pass exploration. It is the preferred drilling technique when drilling up to a depth of 50-60m. An aircore drilling rig is used for this purpose. This drilling technique utilizes tungsten tipped steel blades to drill holes. It is suitable for drilling into unconsolidated ground. It prevents cross-contamination and provides better representative sample. This is the reason this method is preferred over RAB. The high pressure drilling equipment arrives at the project site with everything needed to drill the holes in the ground. The service comes with the services of the personnel needed to operate the drilling equipment and drill the ground.
Diamond Drilling
It is suitable for drilling hard rock. This rig’s drill bit is impregnated with diamond bits. The drilling bit is attached at the end of the drill rod. Diamond drilling technique is used to carve out a cylindrical core in solid rocks. Depending on the surface and underground materials, it can be the sole method or part of a combination method used to drill the hole. One rig has 420m PQ, 635m HQ and 940m NQ capacity. Another rig has capacity of 800m PQ, 1200m HQ and 1800m NQ. These rigs can reach most project sites.
Reverse Circulation or RC Drilling
This is the preferred drilling method for mineral exploration. It can penetrate deeper than the aircore drilling and RAB. The pneumatic rig has a reciprocating piston that drives the tungsten tipped steel drill bit. It is a powerful drilling equipment that uses its strong hydraulic power to drill deep into the ground. There is no manual rod handling so the risks of injuries and fatigue are eliminated.
Some drilling companies WA also offer support equipment for the project sites. The devices include genset, submersible pumps, lighting towers, mobile field offices and mobile accommodation units. All these devices are delivered to the project site on the given date. This complete start to end solution reduces costs of a mineral exploration project. The drilling company is ready to execute geotechnical installation, RC grade control and other works related to a mining exploration project. Experienced and skilled operators visit the site with the latest drilling equipment. It ensures accurate and high quality sampling.
