30 inch Caisson Ramming in Northern Ontario

April 17th, 2012 by David

This is the first phase of a Mining project in Northern Ontario.  Using our 24 inch hammer we rammed down 30 inch casing 100 feet vertically through overburden and seated it into the bedrock.  We then sealed the interface and cleaned the casings out with one of our vertical drilling rigs to clear the way for our raise boring rock machine to be  set up.  It will drill through the rock into the mine stope deep underground.
