MWD
Measurement While Drilling
MWD is a technology that records and transmits to the surface parameters such as penetration rate, torque, pressure and direction during drilling in real time. This reduces geological uncertainties in mining and tunnel projects, increases safety and improves operational efficiency.
Geological Modeling
Rock hardness, fracturing and water zones are determined with MWD data.
Support Design
Rock bolt, shotcrete or steel mesh requirements are determined in advance.
Efficiency
Faster progress is achieved through optimization of drilling parameters.
Environmental Benefit
Vibration and environmental impacts are reduced through controlled blasting.
Ore – Waste Rock Separation
Veins of gold, copper and other valuable ores are determined more accurately, losses are minimized.
Blasting Optimization
More controlled fracturing, low explosive consumption and high ore recovery are achieved.
Safety
Water ingress, voids or weak zones are detected in advance, increasing work safety.
Economic Efficiency
Less crushing-transportation cost and faster production.
