Other Equipment

Tripod

Our tripod is the machine you want for remote sites where a drill could not get to. With the ability to be carried by two workers, or dragged behind a snow machine or ATV, this drill can truly get to all areas. The tripod operates using the “Washbore” method, we drive a piece of casing down to the desired depth then wash it out and take a sample. It can be used on land or water with a mini barge, or out on the ice in the winter.

Maximums

Drill Measurements

Maximum Depth Depending on material but 100’+ is attainable Mast Length Width Height
Weight 150 lbs Up 2 ft 1.5 ft 11 ft
  Down 3ft



Hand Hammer A.K.A. "ManKiller"

Another Popular Remote site sampling method. The Hand Hammer can be used to sample shallow overburden in tight spots, inside buildings, or slopes. If you need only a few feet of overburden sampled but can’t get a drill to it, this is good option

Water Carrier

Our Water Carrier is capable of hauling 500 Gallons. We also have the ability to pull our Water trailer which is also on tracks, for a total of 1500 gallons (750 gallons on each). This tandem can haul water into fields or bush as long as the terrain isn’t too steep.

Maximums

Maximum Capacity 1000 Gallons



Barge

Our Barge allows you to drill just about any small lake, river, creek or swamp. This barge is very portable and is assembled in a day in just about any location. We put our D-25 Drill on the bigger barge and we also have a smaller plastic barge to put the tripod on. check out our past projects for more pictures of this setup.



Hydraulic Packers

Our packers are available for holes from Bq to Pq. In formations where rock is highly fractured or where rock stability and porousity is important, our clients use packers to further test the rock. We have all the tools equipment and know-how needed to get you the information you ask for.
