Diamond
Drilling
For mining and exploration projects, our Diamond Drilling expertise is proven.
Highly experienced with diamond-studded drill processes, the solid core samples we withdraw accurately collect data.
SDA safely achieves this by coupling the most technologically advanced techniques with professional, solution minded personnel.
Diamond Coring
Directional Drilling
Mud Rotary
Conventional Drilling
Large Diameter Drilling
Multi-Purpose RC
Shallow Angle
Drilling
SDA is a specialist driller for shallow angle, tight access diamond drilling. We successfully complete programs ranging from -20 through to -90 degrees.
We’ve even flattened angles to as low as -12 degrees by end of hole.
This unique ability enables us to complete drill programs in the tightest of access areas, often saving an expensive redesign, or costly site works. When environmental or heritage restrictions are in place, our ability can be the difference between the project’s drill viability entirely.
We regularly combine shallow angle capability with directional hole control to hit targets others cannot, including drilling beside and under open-cut pits, successfully hitting targets previously thought unachievable.
Geotechnical
Drilling
Land Based Site Investigation
To assist in the accurate design of earthworks and foundations, or for the repair of existing structures (damaged by sub-surface conditions), SDA is highly experienced in obtaining accurate sub-surface soil and rock data.
Near Shore / Marine Investigation
Our expertise also extends to near-shore site drilling techniques, utilising free floating or jack up barges. From large-scale harbour, wharf and marina developments, through to jetties, moorings and breakwater projects, our subsurface investigation ability is proven.
