Back filled hole

Minimise your footprint

You might be surprised how much vegetation you will find on your tenements, particularly in areas of transported regolith where soil sampling is not suitable. Disturbance to topsoil can also lead to future problematic erosion. Our auger rigs are ideal due to being very small and highly manoeuvrable, they can access areas where 4WD auger or aircore rigs cannot reach without significant access clearing.

The elimination of access clearing will make the DMIRS Programme of Work process much easier.

The small diameter (65mm to 80mm) auger holes can be back filled with spoil from around hole at the time of drilling, eliminating the need for a separate rehabilitation program. Rigs don’t use air so holes will not produce water eliminating the need for sumps.

The rigs can also be used to clean up drill sites and fill sumps from programs using larger rigs or be used to seal off any access lines as required by DMIRS.
