Quarries and Mines

There are four main types of blastholes: Production holes / Pre-split holes / Buffer holes / Production holes underground

More Mining Applications

  • 1. Surface mining
  • 2. Underground soft rock mining
  • 3. Underground hard rock mining
  • 4. Production drilling of blastholes in quarries and mines.

Well Drilling

There are two main purposes for well drilling:

  • 1. Waterwells
  • 2. Geothermal wells

The required depth and size of the wells varies geographically due to pump standards and geology.
