“Over the years, the company expanded its capabilities to encompass all facets of geotechnical stabilization,” says Dan Sims, General Manager. One pivotal milestone for the company was the development and manufacturing of proprietary Horizontal Long Hole drill rigs. “These innovative drills, designed to dewater slopes and reduce pore water pressure up to 500m into the subsurface, play a critical role in stabilizing slopes and preventing failures, particularly in open-pit mines,” says Sims. This advanced drilling technology, reaching depths of up to 500 meters into the subsurface, plays a crucial role in maintaining safety and predicting slope stability. Drilling cased and perforated holes, uncased, PVC lined, or a combination of all provides a dramatic increase in ground stability. “Our proven results and ability to meet strict production deadlines will keep your project on track,” says Sims. “All stages of groundwater reduction through the placement of free-draining, horizontal drain holes can be safely completed from casing, drilling, perforating, installing PVC, grouting, all surface pipe installations, sump construction and linings.” A COMMITMENT TO SAFETY “The safety of our employees and the public have always been of the utmost importance to BAT,” says 44 DEC 2023 | BUSINESS ELITE CANADA
