Services Offered

Exploration Drilling:

- Diamond Core Drilling: Utilizes a diamond-encrusted drill bit to recover cylindrical rock cores. This method is essential for obtaining detailed geological information, such as rock composition, structure, and mineral content.
- Reverse Circulation Drilling: Involves a dual-wall drill pipe system to collect rock samples in a reverse flow. It is commonly used for initial exploration and resource estimation.
- Percussive Drilling: Utilizes repetitive hammering or pounding actions to break and extract rock samples. This method is effective in various geological formations.

Geotechnical Drilling:

- Soil Sampling: Involves extracting and analyzing soil samples to assess its composition, strength, and suitability for construction or mining activities.
- Rock Coring: Similar to diamond core drilling, this method extracts cylindrical rock cores, providing valuable data for engineering and construction projects.
- Cone Penetration Testing (CPT): Measures soil resistance and provides information on soil consistency, which is vital for foundation design and stability assessments.
- Pressure meter Testing: Determines the compressibility and shear strength of soil, aiding in geotechnical design and foundation engineering.

Blast Hole Drilling:

- Production Drilling: Involves drilling holes for explosives to break and fragment rock, facilitating efficient material extraction.
- Pre-split Drilling: Creates a protective layer in the rock mass, minimizing overbreak and enhancing the stability of the final excavation.
- Bench Drilling: Targets specific areas of a mining bench to extract material efficiently and safely.

Environmental Drilling:

- Groundwater Monitoring Wells: Installed to monitor changes in groundwater levels and quality over time, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.
- Soil Vapor Extraction Wells: Used for remediation purposes, extracting volatile contaminants from the soil to improve environmental conditions.
- Contaminant Investigation Drilling: Involves the collection of soil and groundwater samples to assess and mitigate potential contamination issues.

Technological Innovation:

- Adoption of advanced technologies, such as Sonic Drilling, which uses high-frequency vibrations to extract soil and rock samples with minimal disturbance.
- Integration of real-time data logging and monitoring systems to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of drilling operations.

Consultancy Services:

- Providing expert advice and consultancy on drilling techniques, project planning, and site assessments.
- Offering geotechnical and geological expertise to guide clients in making informed decisions regarding mineral exploration and extraction.

Ndawu Mining Drilling Services plays a crucial role in the mining industry, contributing to the discovery and extraction of valuable resources through their specialized and technologically advanced drilling services.
