Diamond
Core Rig AD450 - Track
Mounted
The AD450 multi purpose top head
drive rig is very versatile and can be used for either open hole or diamond
wireline coring in PQ, HQ or NQ size. This drill has been set up to drill angle
holes between 45 and 90 degrees for geotechnical, coal or mineral exploration
work. The rig is capable of PQ to 150 meters, HQ to 450 meters or NQ to 600
meters (based on a clean, fluid filled hole).
The
rig specifications demonstrate the maneuverability of this rig.
The rig typically achieves 20
to 35 meters per shift for HQ core drilling and 70 to 80 meters per shift for
open hole drilling.
The rig is
used for open hole, spot coring or fully cored holes, where geotechnical
samples and coal samples are required, or in special applications such as angle
holes or horizontal drilling.
