Heavy Machinery
At Big Bear Drilling SpA, we understand the importance of having reliable, high-quality heavy machinery to ensure the success and efficiency of our mining drilling operations. That's why we have equipped our fleet with top-of-the-line equipment that meets the highest industry standards.
Komatsu Front Loaders
We have two standout models of front loaders from the renowned Komatsu Brand.
- Komatsu A320:
The Komatsu A320 is a robust and versatile front loader designed to handle the most demanding tasks in our operations. With its powerful engine and load capacity, this equipment is ideal for moving large volumes of material quickly and efficiently. - Komatsu A380:
The Komatsu A380 stands out for its greater capacity and performance compared to the A320. This front loader offers a combination of power, durability, and precision, making it perfect for the heaviest and highest-performing tasks in our mining operations. - Rod Handler Cart:
Specifically designed for the transport and handling of drilling rods, these carts optimize work at the site, saving time and resources. - Additive Mixing Cart:
Essential for the preparation and mixing of additives used in the drilling process. - Additional Heavy Machinery Fleet:
In addition to our Komatsu front loaders, we have a wide range of heavy machinery to cover all the needs of our operations. - Crane Trucks:
Ideal for handling and transporting heavy equipment and materials at the drilling site. Our crane trucks are designed to provide flexibility and efficiency in transporting and installing components. - Flatbed Trucks:
Used for the safe and efficient transport of machinery, tools, and materials between different locations in our mining operations. - Water Tank Trucks:
Equipped to supply water and other liquids needed at the drilling site, ensuring our operations run smoothly without interruption, and ensuring the uniform and efficient application of these materials.
Drilling depth
Diamond drilling is a drilling technique that uses rods of different diameters to reach different depths in conventional terrain and salt flats. The choice of tool will depend on the terrain and its specific conditions, adapting to the characteristics of the subsoil to obtain optimal results in the extraction of geological samples.
Packer Systems
At Big Bear Drilling SpA, we use advanced packer systems to ensure precision and efficiency in obtaining samples from wells. Packers are specialized seals that, through different activation methods, isolate and sample specific zones within the well. Depending on the project's needs, we use hydraulic, pneumatic, or mechanical packers.
- Hydraulic Packer:
The hydraulic packer is inflated by injecting high-pressure water from the surface. This system has two sections: one isolates the area of interest within the rod (HQ or PQ), and the other seals the zone to be sampled deeper in the well, firmly pressing against the walls of the borehole. This type of packer can reach depths of up to 800 meters, providing an effective solution for sampling in deep wells. - Pneumatic Packer:
The pneumatic packer uses nitrogen gas injected at high pressure from the surface to inflate. Like the hydraulic packer, it has two sections: one isolates the area of interest within the rod (HQ or PQ), and the other seals the zone to be sampled deeper in the well. This system is ideal for depths up to 400 meters, offering a reliable method for sampling in less deep but equally critical zones. - Mechanical Packer:
The mechanical packer works via a mechanical drive activated by pressing against the bottom of the well. This mechanism expands a rubber seal that isolates the area of interest by pressing against the well's walls. This packer is suitable for depths greater than 600 meters, providing a robust and effective option for various drilling conditions. - Sampling System:
In all cases, brine samples can be obtained on the surface through the high-pressure air injection system known as the "airlift," which allows a continuous flow of water to be recovered. Alternatively, a "bailer" extractor can be used to recover samples of 2 liters each time it is extracted from the well. These methods ensure the collection of representative, high-quality samples essential for analysis and decision-making in our projects.
At Big Bear Drilling SpA, we are committed to using the most advanced and suitable packer systems for each project, ensuring precise and reliable results in our mining drilling operations.
