Track Mounted Diamond Drill Rigs
Small Footprint, Shallow Angled Optionality
West Core Drilling has the largest fleet of Boart Longyear LF90 track-mounted core drilling rigs in Western Australia, with six of these highly versatile units, all of which are able to drill at dips of -300.
The set-up of the LF90s has a very small footprint at just 2.5m x 3.5m (compared to 3m x 10m for the typical truck-mounted option). The track systems allow for manoeuvring across the most extreme ground conditions without issue, giving them the ability to drill in areas of limited access.
These rigs provide the ultimate solution for drilling in areas where minimising disturbance is a major priority, yet substantial penetration is required. The rigs can be set up flexibly to minimise pad size and therefore environmental disturbance.
The rigs have such advantages as safe-t-spin spinners, reducing both risk and impact for drilling crew during rod handling. Crews utilise the rigs’ remote control while tramming as this gives them a clear view all the way around. It can be operated from outside the “Safety Zone” and reduces risk of personal danger.
We have supplemented the tracked fleet with the addition of a Sandvik DE710, providing additional accessible options for our clients.
