Provide a diverse range of innovative, high quality drilling services and technology that meet the specific requirements of our global customers in the international mining industry.

We offer a range of value-added services: through-pass boring, drain-hole drilling, ventilation and pressure shafts, and more. Long-range dry crete system: Currently used successfully in Mexico, this system allows for shaft-lining with a dry crete mix, which can be loaded on surface and mixed with water in a nozzle body to minimise wastage. Short-range wet crete system: The wet-crete mix is loaded on surface and fed into a nozzle body via a hose system. The system is also controlled remotely using a camera and control device. This short-range wet crete system presents similar advantages to the long-range dry crete system. Headgear and stage application support: As with conventional sinking, a working stage is accessed by means of a winder, headgear and kibble arrangement. From the stage, the shaft side walls can be supported with steel mesh, mechanical and cable bolts, as well as shotcrete or formed concrete lining. This service is suitable for all raiseboring depth and diameter requirements. It is used where shaft equipping or complex support work is required. Drilling bore holes for geologic information or in search of a mineral deposit. A circular excavation is produced between two existing levels in an underground mine or between the surface and an existing level in a mine. To excavate raises where access to the upper level is limited, boxhole boring is employed. We offer a range of value-added services: through-pass boring, drain- hole drilling, ventilation and pressure shafts, and more.
