Boart Longyear says it will present the advantages of sonic drilling over conventional surface drilling at MINExpo International 2016 in Las Vegas, scheduled for Sept. 26 to 28. Its LS250 MiniSonic drilling rig will be on display as well.
“Although adoption of sonic drilling technology has been gradual, drilling contractors and other professionals are now seeing it as the solution for a variety of needs, including geotechnical, environmental, water and mining applications,” says Shayne Drivdahl, vice president of global engineering for Boart Longyear. “They recognize that sonic offers many benefits that traditional core drills simply cannot provide.”
