LATEST DRILLING VIDEOS
Here are two video examples of some recent work undertaken by CW Drill. Just click the image to be taken through to the YouTube videos. The first video, ‘Drilling Through An Earthquake Landslide’ is a project for Kaikoura EIL (Earthquake Induced Landslide) Research. This is a comprehensive overview of the work that involved drilling a series of PQ size core holes through some of the biggest landslides, landslides caused by the 2016 earthquakes between Waiau and Kaikoura. The second video, ‘How A Geological Drill Rig Works’ is particularly interesting viewing for those looking for an overview of how this skill-set is successfully achieved and the specific equipment required.
