New drilling equipment - soft and hard

摘要

At Conexpo-CON/AGG 2014, held in Las Vegas, Nevada/USA from 04.-08.03.2014, Sandvik Construction unveiled two newly developed tools for drilling. The first tool from the Stockholm/Sweden based international company, with the drilling equipment being developed in Tampere/Finland, is a groundbreaking practical software tool for surface drilling process management, the Sandvik Driller's Office (Fig. 1). The advanced tool is a friend to anyone who works with surface drilling management, in particular in quarrying applications, as it helps simplify the whole process, as well as managing it efficiently. Thus, the software is a surface drilling planning and data management tool. It covers drill plan design, drilling data management and reporting. Driller's Office follows the logic of the job site and features clear and simple visualizations of the drilling pattern and terrain models in 3D, greatly helping the planning process.
