A perfect fit for contractors in construction drilling

The Iron Rig DLC for Dredge mirrors the storyline of Still Wakes the Deep, focusing on sinister drilling activities by Ironhaven Corporation. The content involves revisiting main islands to tackle new horrors and upgrade equipment, but lacks narrative depth. Although engaging, it fails to make a significant impact on Dredge’s world and feels like a checklist rather than an enriching expansion. #IronRig #Dredge #Dlc https://lnkd.in/gk-kVC2D

Doctor Geoff Adderley is busy this morning at #Hillhead2024 demonstrating how we are improving the entire value chain with ROG+. Expanding EPC-UK and EPC Metrics’ capabilities beyond drilling & blasting alone, the team will showcase the new ROG+ service which involves measuring customers’ blast impact on a continual, feedback loop basis. This enables engineers to make slight adjustments to improve future blasting decisions and better the entire value chain from face-to-gate or mine-to-mill. By choosing only the tech elements of the service that apply to their individual sites and through benefiting from the advanced accuracy of ROG+’s machine learning, customers can reduce expenditure and environmental impact, whether that’s linked to loading, hauling, fuel usage or crushing. “Come and talk to us during Hillhead and our team will show you how EPC-UK is ready to shape the future of the drilling & blasting industry and how we are ENABLING MINERAL SUSTAINABILITY® #quarrying #ROG+ #digitalsolutions #weareepc #EPCUK #oneteam

Another corner turned for NOV Downhole Broadband Solutions (DBS) with 2024 behind us – Happy New Year to all of you! We want to thank all our clients, partners and colleagues for your trust in our technology and collaborative efforts put in place. 2024 overall did see a slight drop in footage drilled versus record year of 2023, but 130,000+ meters is still impressive! On the other side we did see a wider footprint in 2024 with operations in 5 countries across 3 regions – a massive effort for our organization, thank you all for your support. We also recognize and appreciate the feedback from operations and clients – there is still room for improvement, there is still more value to be captured. Know that we are motivated to working these achievements. 2024 did however become the bridge to a very busy 2025 with several new Wired Drill Pipe (WDP) and Along-String Measurements (ASM) deployments in North Sea and Middle East. New rigs are being prepared for DBS with full integration to drilling equipment and controls, while there is a parallel push for new enhancements to the drill string suite of tools to further take advantage of the downhole broadband network – exciting times ahead! #nov #downholebroadbandsolutions #mdtotco #wireddrillpipe #intelliserv #turningthelightsondownhole

We offer the whole range of ring bits and pilot bits for any Casing Advancement System drilling. Manufactured 100% in Finland with 97.5% European made raw materials. And furthermore, with the market’s best modularity to help your operations. With #RDTmodularity you can change from standard pilot to SensiFlow (SF) or to DrillThrough (DT) pilots without a need to change your ring bit set. Furthermore, you can use the same ring bits with both DTH and Top Hammer drilling. These changes are possible even during drilling and onsite. Also, we offer an EM line ring sets for less demanding conditions or projects with tighter economic constraints. The EM ring sets are also 100% compatible with any of the pilots. Moreover, for piling our B model EM ring bit sets have the same load bearing capacity as the standard ring sets have. This is not always the case with economy and light models available on the markets. #RDTdrilling is #TheResponsibleChoice for you.

🔍 TechInsight #1 from Arcotech Drilling! Ever wonder how you can check the rubber-to-metal bond without causing any damage? Here's a simple yet effective technique: Use a screwdriver with a 1/4" rounded tip. 👉 How to Check: Firmly press the screwdriver 1/8" above the bond line. Watch for any signs of the rubber peeling away from the metal—this can indicate areas where the bond may have weakened or failed. This non-destructive testing method is particularly crucial for ensuring the integrity of rerun motors in WBM drilling systems applications, where the quality of every component matters. 🛠️ Stay tuned for more insights and tips from the leader in power section reliability! #ArcoTechDrilling #QualityControl #DrillingIndustry #NonDestructiveTesting #EngineeringExcellence

Magnificent innovation of making micro drilling machine that push the boundaries of precision engineering.

We’re proud to share that we’ve recently acquired the Teledyne FLIR Packbot 525, complete with a specially engineered cutting torch attachment from Teledyne Construction. This investment represents a significant step forward in providing innovative solutions to help our customers enhance workplace safety and efficiency. The Packbot 525, known for its precision and versatility, combined with the cutting torch attachment, empowers remote operations like never before. These tools perfectly align with our mission to support our customers' Elimination of Live Work (ELW) strategies by reducing the need for workers to be physically present in high-risk environments. At Intermountain Technologies, we’re committed to empowering our customers with tools that prioritize safety without compromising performance. The Teledyne FLIR Packbot 525 and its cutting torch attachment are just beginning our journey to transform how industries tackle ELW.

We like to call this one Subterra’s one-size-fits-most #geothermal #drilling solution. Introducing the 'TH60' drill rig! Some specific capabilities below:   - This single rotary drill thrives in shallow overburden by leveraging a high RPM on-board compressor with fine-tuned operator controls. - The TH60’s rate of penetration (ROP) is like no other - mounted drill pipe storage means faster drilling and less lay down area required. - If air drilling doesn’t suit your needs, we can outfit the rig with a mud set-up for added versatility.   The TH60 takes the crown for the rig with the most linear footage drilled across Subterra’s entire fleet.... and it has more than enough work in the pipeline to hold this title.
