Drill Rig
Drill Rig Features
- Mine spec
- Powered by turbo charged 3 cylinder diesel engine running 4x hydraulic pumps and oil cooler
- 1.2m wide
- Gross weight ~1.8 tonne
- Rubber tracked for access over uneven ground and in soft ground conditions (ground pressure of ~8psi)
- Hydraulic drill head, jack legs and winch
- Moveable operator control panel for drilling in tight conditions (LHS, LH front, RHS, RH front)
- Transported on tandem trailer towed by 4x4 truck
- Operated by one or two people
Benefits
- Economical to mobilise.
- Can be operated by one or two people. The driller is a qualified and experienced geologist who performs dual roles of driller and geologist.
Capabilities
- 100mm solid flight augers to 12m down hole depth or refusal.
- 90mm and 100mm Down Hole Hammer (DTH) to drill into rock to depth of 12m. The hammer is powered by an auxillary air compressor
- 300mm large diameter auger
- Vertical and inclined holes (see gallery photos)
- SPT testing can be undertaken from 1m below ground level to 12m at a testing interval of 1.5m.
- Push tube to 3m using hydraulic jack hammer mounted on mast
Tow/Support Truck
- 4wd 3L Turbo Diesel Dual Cab Mitsubishi Canter
- Mine Spec including ROPS, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, EPIRB, flares, battery isolator, starter isolator, jump start plug, side stripes, flashing lights, sand flag, vehicle identification, safety step/barrier on tray, wheel chocks, UHF radio, maintenance logs
