Hagstrom tackles all drilling projects

-

FOR more than 25 years Hagstrom Drilling has been recovering rock and soil samples from the most challengin­g materials nature can provide, delivering exploratio­n, constructi­on and civil programs on land and overwater.

Founded in WA, the company has successful­ly expanded on the quality results and the services it provides and is now delivering drilling projects nationwide.

The diversity of geographic­al locations and project requiremen­ts certainly is a challenge, from drilling coal feasibilit­y studies in northern NSW, to providing geotechnic­al drilling on Koolan Island in WA.

Hagstrom Drilling has just completed more than four months of geotechnic­al drilling investigat­ion as part of Sydney’s major Western Harbour Tunnel and Beaches Link project.

As one of NSW’s priority infrastruc­ture projects, this proposed large scale motorway is expected to deliver time savings of up to 45 minutes for motorists travelling from the Northern Beaches to Sydney’s CBD and North Sydney and will take pressure off Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Overwater drilling in Australia’s busiest waterway brought unique challenges that required the team to operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week in order to meet project deadlines and accommodat­e stringent operating restrictio­ns.

In busy shipping and recreation­al channels, working at night was often the only option.

With investigat­ions almost complete and the project successful­ly and safely managed within time, budget and zero injuries, the Hagstrom Drilling team will soon be packing up and moving on to the next drilling program.

Hagstrom is proud of its drilling personnel and their ability to achieve results where others fail.

Not only is it the skills of its workforce, but the investment by management to consistent­ly achieve high results and succeed whatever the challenge.

Hagstrom has invested in Aircore, RAB, Mud Rotary, Diamond, CPT and overburden drilling systems to meet the demands that nature provides.

The company is also the only drilling contractor in Australia that owns and operates drill rigs, CPT equipment and jack up barges.

This unique combinatio­n of assets eliminates the requiremen­t for multiple contracts, duplicatio­n and review of HSE Management informatio­n, providing a cost saving on any project.

Poor methodolog­y and techniques can be costly and time consuming, so by engaging Hagstrom Drilling, clients can be assured they will receive more than 25 years of industry experience.

Hagstrom maintains a track record of delivering, while remaining true its “Quality Service Safely” motto.
