Underground drilling.

Precision in tight spaces.

Underground programs demand control, efficiency, and equipment that can handle tight spaces and shifting conditions. With the TECH 5000 configured for underground work, our crews deliver accurate results in narrow drifts and variable ground, helping reduce downtime and keep your development moving.

Underground configuration

Built for underground work.

Underground drilling comes with unique constraints, tighter controls, and high expectations. It requires disciplined work within established mine safety systems. Our approach is built on proven processes, specialized skills, and close coordination with mine operations to deliver reliable results underground.

Mine safety systems

We follow all site-specific requirements and work in constant coordination with mine teams to ensure safe, predictable operations.

Downhole, flat and uphole expertise

Our crews deliver accurate downhole, flat and uphole drilling in confined headings, maintaining precision, stability, and strong deviation control.

Integrated with mine operations

Underground drilling succeeds when everyone moves in sync. Our teams integrate seamlessly with mine planning—ensuring our work supports the broader operation.

Controlled, organized sites

We maintain clean, well-managed drill sites with careful water control, cuttings containment, and disciplined housekeeping in tight spaces.

A versatile rig for every angle.

With a full operating range from +90° to -90°, the TECH 5000 achieves any dip or azimuth from a single setup, reducing the need for frequent moves. A compact mast, electric power, and detachable control module allow crews to work safely and efficiently in tight spaces.

  • Compact mast and feed frame designed for narrow drifts and cut-outs
  • 150 hp electric motor for quiet, powerful performance
  • Full-angle drilling: +90° to -90° for maximum flexibility
  • Single-setup capability reduces downtime and boost metres
  • Modular design keeps controls clear of hazards and improves crew safety

Safe to the core.

Underground work demands disciplined execution and a culture that treats safety as non-negotiable. Our crews receive thorough, site-specific training before entering any site and follow all mine requirements, procedures, and controls without exception. With clear processes, a no-compromise mindset, and continuous communication with mine teams, we maintain clean, organized, and predictable drill sites—ensuring every person goes home safe.

FAQ

What underground conditions do you work in?

+

We operate in narrow drifts, cut-outs, development drives, and complex headings, adapting the TECH 5000 to a wide range of underground layouts.

Can the TECH 5000 drill in any direction underground?

+

Yes. With a full +90° to -90° range, it can achieve any dip or azimuth from a single setup.

How do you manage safety underground?

+

Through strict procedures, clear communication with mine teams, strong engineering controls, and a culture built around accountability and care.

Do you offer directional or corrective drilling underground?

+

Yes. We use mud motors, directional core barrels, continuous coring tools, and wedging techniques designed for confined underground spaces.

What about water and cuttings management?

+

We use efficient systems that keep sites clean, control flow, and reduce environmental impact within the heading.
