Over the years, sonic drilling has continued to evolve, with improvements in vibration frequency, power output, and drill bit design. Today, sonic drilling is a widely used technique for a range of drilling applications, from mineral exploration and geotechnical surveys to environmental monitoring and geothermal energy production. Its advantages over conventional drilling metho ...

Onboarding to site can be a tricky process. Especially when all the different mining houses and clients have their own processes that we have to follow before we can get onto site. Our Terra Monitoring team recently had to undergo full training for the Passport 360 onboarding platform. Intricate as it is, this system allows our teams online access to all the training modules ne ...
