Boart Longyear has announced a plan to expand its mine water drilling services to Latin America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia Pacific. The company offers a full range of mine and other water drilling services in North America including: production, de-watering, re-injection, monitoring, geothermal and municipal wells. Boart Longyear also provides pump installation and servicing for North American customers.

Dale Johnson, global director of Drilling Services operations for Boart Longyear explained: “Our water well services in the mining industry are primarily utilised for monitoring water tables in and around the mine, water supply needed in the mining process and/or lowering water tables to allow safe and efficient mining.  We also install piezometers and other instrumentation holes for ground monitoring, and horizontal drains to eliminate perched water causing pressure on mine pit walls.”

Boart Longyear has assembled an international strategic operations team that is currently training drill crews from Russia, Kazakhstan and Peru.
