PIONEER Drilling will unveil new additions to its BMA mine-compliant drilling rigs on Stand 3076 during the 2009 Queensland Resources Expo (QREX) trade exhibition at the Rockhampton Showgrounds between 21 and 23 July 2009.
The Rockhampton company, which has recently moved to a new depot at Bouldercombe, is a leading provider of Australia-wide geotechnical and environmental drilling services.
The company’s geotechnical drilling expertise is used to investigate existing sub-surface conditions and materials and assess risks posed by site conditions with the data helping determine pre-construction engineering and design requirements.
Geotechnical drilling is also used to define the location, movement, depth and soil impact of ground water.
Pioneer Drilling also offers environmental drilling services that determine the existence of contamination in soil and ground water.
Geotechnical engineers and drillers will be on Pioneer Drilling’s QREX stand to answer questions and discuss the company’s services.
Pioneer Drilling is committed to providing first-class drilling services through qualified employees, modern equipment and experience.
Pioneer Drilling director, Richard Goldsworthy says that safety is embedded in our work culture and we have the torque to perform augur work and also sufficiently high rotary speed to perform coring once the augur reaches refusal.
Goldsworthy claims this versatility allows each drilling rig to perform multiple drilling services including geotechnical drilling, hollow augur sampling, environmental drilling, ground water monitoring and site investigation.
