DRILL SYSTEMS AP1000 BECKER HAMMER DRILLS
BOA 8M AUGER DRILL
DR 10K AUGER DRILL
TRACK MOUNTED ACKER MK IV

Great West Drilling’s AP1000 Becker Hammer Drills are designed for use when difficult drilling conditions are encountered. Alluvial deposits, glacial deposits, mine dumps, tailings piles and other challenging overburden formations are efficiently penetrated and accurately sampled using the Becker Hammer Dual Tube Reverse Circulation drill pipe.

Becker Penetration Tests for geotechnical investigations, liquefaction studies and pre and post ground improvement testing are accomplished using closed bits or knock out plug bits.

In consolidated formations, the AP1000’s rotary drives are used for Dual Tube Reverse Circulation air rotary drilling, HQ Wireline Coring, conventional air rotary and mud rotary drilling.

Great West Drilling Ltd’s Acker MK IV is a versatile, multi-function drill, capable of several drilling methods. It’s powerful enough to drill deep, large diameter auger holes, is equipped for wet rotary and wireline coring, and for air rotary and ODEX drilling in difficult drilling conditions. The soft tracked carrier can negotiate terrain that would usually make access to the drill site impossible.
