Continuing J&S Drilling’s long term contractual relationship with BHP Gemco now South 32 we have recently completed the drilling and installation of deep large diameter Production Bores for minesite production water.
5 Bores have been installed with 300mm steel casing with stainless steel screens along with stainless steel headworks manufactured at the J&S Drilling Perth workshop.
Our flagship Fraste FS 300 38 tonne automated drilling rig was used to penetrate to depth through the hard layers of manganese orebody. Mud recycling was an integral part of this operation recycling drilling fluids to minimize waste and contain costs.
J&S drilling’s licenced Northern Territory drillers completed this project with accredited support crews and hydrogeological support from AGE consultants.
Production water flow rates from these bores now provide a guaranteed supply of Minesite production water for continued operations throughout the year.
