We specialise in Aircore Drilling from 80mm up to 85mm in diameter with holes to a depth of up to 110m.
Aircore is a method of exploration drilling that can be utilised allowing the safe removal of sample material where possible, it is a preferred alternative to RAB allowing clean and uncontaminated samples.
- ● Aircore provides a more accurate sample. The nature of the expulsion of the materials provides samples that are easier to analyse.
- ● Safer sample removal. Using compressed air injection, air core drilling involves less damage to the samples, when compared with other alternative drilling methods.
- ● Boosts efficiencies and reduces costs. Aircore is an efficient method for removing material. It enables real-time sample collection, which speeds up drilling rates, resulting in reduced field costs. Our air core drill is lighter in weight than larger RC rigs, making quicker and easier to transport between holes.
- ● Less chance of cross-contamination of sample. As compressed air is used to suck the sample through the inner tube, there is less sample pollution than other methods.
Aircore drilling is faster and less expensive than traditional drilling methods, as it allows for the removal of cuttings in real-time, resulting in a cleaner borehole and a higher quality sample. This method of drilling is also highly effective in clay and sand formations, where other drilling methods may struggle to obtain accurate samples.
