diamond drilling - using a drill to cut through hard materials such as rock and concrete. In nature, these materials are called 'bedrock', and need to be broken up in order to extract coal or oil.

is the practice of drilling non-vertical bores. It can be broken down into four main groups: oilfield directional drilling, utility installation directional drilling, directional boring, and surface in seam, which horizontally intersects a vertical bore target to extract coal bed methane

Rotary drilling is used to form a deep observation borehole or for obtaining representative samples of rock

RPMT Borehole Drilling offer an array of geotechnical drilling services, including one of our most popular methods: sonic drilling services

If you rely on a borehole water supply either for domestic or commercial use then keeping it maintained is extremely important.

Auger is a tool used to bore holes efficiently and effectively. If you want to drill a hole in the ground, you’ll want an auger

Dolomite is an abundant carbonate mineral in ancient rock formations, but it is extremely scarce in modern sedimentary environments.

Blast hole drilling is traditionally used wherever the mining company wants to explore the mineral composition or potential mineral yield of the area demarcated for their mining interests.

This method produces sample from depth by pulverizing rock with compressed air and a percussive hammer and returns it to surface through an inner tube and collects it through a cyclone then into a sample bag.

Air-core drills 75mm to optimal depths 75 metres and is performed using a smaller mobile rig known as an Air-core rig.

Rotary air blasting is the simplest and most economical technique and is typically the first step in a mineral exploration project.
