Dellows Bluff Anchors – Murchison
Client
Fulton Hogan.
Location
Dellows Bluff, near Murchison.
Drilling Project Details
Quite a complex project, involving 900 metres of driven UC columns, 600m of inclined anchors, drilled in 200mm diameter, anchors installed into a variety of differing geology, giving us quite a few challenges to overcome.
We purchased a drill through casing system through HMI in 200mm, to allow holes to be drilled in a single pass, through sandstone boulders, running colluvium and soft saturated substrates and into weathered sandstone for the bonded section, these anchors were up to 24m long.
Drilling Project Challenges
