Boart Longyear, the global provider of drilling services, equipment and performance tooling, will use PDAC 2016 – from March 6 to 9 in Toronto – as an opportunity to showcase TruCore™ and a broad range of innovative solutions that increase safety. “Boart Longyear is always focused on developing products to meet clients’ productivity and safety needs,” said Kent Hoots, Senior Vice President, Global Products. “We are looking forward to talking with show attendees about some of our most recent product innovations that will help them drill smarter and safer.”
Boart Longyear’s product experts will be on hand to showcase a number of innovations. the TruCore Core Orientation System is the first product in Boart Longyear’s instrumentation line, and “enables drillers to provide the accurate data and the results mining clients count on, while decreasing spend on consumables.” The company will also showcase its full line of sonic performance tooling, including bits, core barrels, rods, casing and more. Additionally, experts will be onsite to discuss the recently launched LS™250 MiniSonic™, “a compact sonic rig that provides an overall safer working environment. The rig is ideally suited for a wide range of environmental and infrastructure drilling applications, including difficult-to-reach drill sites.”
The Drill Control Interface (DCi™) provides drilling contractors a fully electronic interface to safely and efficiently operate underground drilling equipment, such as the LM™ series, via an independent, light-weight control panel. The LM75, LM90 and LM110 rigs are compatible with the DCi system. The DCi increases safety on-site by moving the driller away from moving parts and hydraulic hoses. Safety is also improved with Boart Longyear’s range of patented rod handlers and rod presenters that significantly reduce a driller’s exposure to the risk of hand injuries by totally or partially automating the rod tripping process.
Finally, on show will be Boart’s RC rods which are manufactured from high-grade, quality steel, which ensures less wear and longer lifetime, straighter holes and easier assembling of inner rods in outer tubes. Drill rods are available with Metzke-type, Remet-type, Faber-type and Matrix-type threads. Boart Longyear Drilling Services professionals will also be available to answer questions about the company’s range of drilling services capabilities and equipment.
