SALT LAKE CITY – April 5, 2016 – Boart Longyear (www.BoartLongyear.com), the world’s leading provider of drilling services, equipment and performance tooling, will present its latest sonic innovations and construction tooling at bauma 2016 from April 11 to 17 in Munich.

“Boart Longyear serves a number of industries, including construction but we’re not as well known in this market,” said Pascal Lefevre, director of sales, EMEA. “bauma provides an opportunity for us to build our reputation within the construction industry, meet with current customers and forge new relationships with potential customers from around the world.”

Boart Longyear’s product experts will be on hand during bauma 2016 in the USA Pavilion, Hall C4, Stand 615/F to showcase the following products:

• Sonic Performance Tooling and LS™250 MiniSonic™: Boart Longyear will showcase its full line of sonic performance tooling, including bits, core barrels, rods, casing and more. Additionally, experts will be on-site to discuss the recently launched LS^TM250 MiniSonic^TM, a mid-sized sonic rig that provides an overall safer working environment. The rig is ideally suited for a wide range of environmental and infrastructure drilling applications, including difficult-to-reach drill sites.

• StopeMate™: Developed with the user in mind, the StopeMate™ pneumatic production drill is extremely compact and is capable of drilling 51mm to 76mm holes, accommodates drilling depths of 12 to 25m and can be quickly disassembled and reassembled to gain access to captive areas.

• LX™6 Rig: A multipurpose geotechnical rig that is capable of wireline and conventional coring, the LX™6 features powerful steel crawlers that allow it to travel on difficult terrain and drill anywhere.

• Vibro-Twin Drive™: A special tooling thread designed for the low frequency high torque Vibro drill heads used in the Ground Stabilization industry. By combining our patented TwinDrive™ overburden tooling thread with our Sonic tooling thread we have created the ultimate thread for Vibro anchoring & grouting drilling applications, able to withstand high torque and vibration forces while providing optimum thread life and easy to couple/uncouple tool joints.

• Overburden Bit Design: Innovative drill bit designs for any kind of overburden ground formation, made from the highest quality steels and tungsten carbide inserts to ensure productive drilling and the lowest cost per meter. Designs for percussive, rotary, rotary-percussive, sonic and rotary-vibro applications.

• Drill Control Interface (DCi): The DCi provides users a fully electronic interface to safely and efficiently operate underground drilling equipment, such as the LM™ series, via an independent, light-weight control panel. The LM™75, LM™90 and LM™110 rigs are compatible with the DCi system. The DCi increases safety on-site by moving the driller away from moving parts and hydraulic hoses. 

• Reverse Circulation (RC) Rods: Boart Longyear’s RC rods are manufactured from high-grade, quality steel, which ensures less wear and longer lifetime, straighter holes and easier assembling of inner rods in outer tubes.

• Top Hammer Tooling: From handheld drill steels and bits to a complete selection of rods, couplings and adaptors, our Top Hammer Tooling products provide complete solutions for any percussive/drill and blast application.
