    We are happy to announce that as of August 2, 2021, all Canadian Fordia offices will be making drill rigs available to their customers. In an earlier blog this year, we announced that drill rigs would be available for sale in the USA and that proved to be successful, so Canada will now join the USA in adding drill rigs to their portfolio of drilling equipment for the mineral exploration industry.

    The mineral exploration industry has seen a lot of change in the last few years. One of the most common challenges is finding employees. Between the cyclic nature of the industry and the recent pandemic, many experienced drillers have left and replacing them has been difficult for many companies.

We started with our most popular guide on choosing the right core bit and are now in the process of taking each guide and updating its information to represent the many changes that have occurred over the last few years.

                                            When geotechnical crews perform excavations, it is crucial that engineers determine a safe slope angle, especially in situations where the ground is clay, silt or other fine-grained soils. A simple and quick test that estimates the undrained shear strength of saturated soils is the vane shear test.

                                            A major challenge for any driller is trying to drill with flowing sands. The term flowing sands refers to a mixture of fine sand and water that infiltrates drilling equipment. This problem often arises when using hollow stem augers to perform SPT tests.

                                            In most geotechnical and environmental drilling, augers are used to drill in the majority of projects. However, the need still arises to perform core sampling for certain geotechnical projects, usually when the presence of bedrock needs to be confirmed. An auger or split spoon will not be able to enter the bedrock so drillers have to use core sampling methods to be able to penetrate and obtain a core sample.
