Specialised, adaptive drilling
FOR productive and safe raise excavation, raiseboring is the most successful method, and Raisebore Australia is one of the country’s leading specialists.
Raisebore Australia is a one-stop shop – providing specialised, adaptive drilling solutions to meet the client’s needs.
The new addition to the fleet is a diverse slot machine such as the Rhino 100.
Raisebore Australia Operations manager Alex Hughes said the Rhino 100 is an easy to use one-man machine, taking slot raise drilling to new heights, maximising the output and reducing the risks without compromising productivity.
“The set-up time for the machine is around 15 minutes, which is much quicker than conventional/box hole raiseborers,” Mr Hughes said.
“You also don’t need concrete foundations for the derrick to be secured to and it’s much easier to transport, making it convenient for clients drilling multiple pilot holes and slot raises.”
The Rhino rig is an efficient option in underground operations, allowing mines to save money, manpower and time.
Mr Hughes said the company specialises in conventional, down hole, box-hole and any vertical development drilling.
“Our fleet features 14 machines, one of the largest in Australia, with the flexibility to ream raises as small as 0.66m diameter up to 6m diameter and 1000m in depth, vent shafts, escape ways, slot raises, ore passes,” he said.
“We cover everything – we’re the one-stop shop when it comes to raiseboring.”
