Mine Service Bores Fleet

Heavy-Duty Mine Service Fleets Engineered for Reliability

Our mine service bore fleet is specifically configured to deliver large-diameter, highly stable wellbores essential for critical underground mine infrastructure across Australia’s major resource sectors.

These heavy-duty rigs deliver the immense pull-back capacity and rotational torque required to safely manage massive casing strings and navigate challenging geological formations.

Every asset in this category integrates seamlessly with our automated handling technology to support complex surface-to-underground applications, including high-volume dewatering, ventilation, and paste fill operations.

By pairing these powerful rigs with advanced hands-free tubular handling systems, our crews consistently achieve secure, long-lasting service bores and exceptional structural integrity under demanding field conditions.
