Drilling Equipment
OME Drilling owns and operates five drill rigs, consisting of three diamond rigs, one multipurpose rig and one RC-only rig for rough terrain. Having a wide range of rigs, from small, limited-access tracked rigs to large truck-mounted rigs, allows us to supply exactly what is needed for the requirements of individual sites.
Our newest rig (Cortech YDX-3L), is extremely versatile, moving between holes quickly and efficiently and with minimal set-up time. This rig is an excellent choice for sites with difficult or tight access.
OME's rigs have been averaging 90% capacity, which together with the equipment doubleshifting, allows for approximately 21 hours of possible utilisation time per day. This is largely attributable to our stringent maintenance schedule which allows equipment to be kept up to a safe and acceptable standard for its effective operation.
