Since 2003, HardRock Infrastructure Services has been taking on the kinds of projects others will not touch. What started with one man, one rig, and a pocketful of credit cards quickly evolved into one of the top providers of horizontal directional drilling (HDD) services in the United States.
[pdf] In hard rock mining and quarrying, this is achieved through a controlled process of drilling and blasting. A blast hole drill rig is a specialised piece of equipment that creates a series of holes in a specific pattern, depth, and diameter across a section of rock known as a “bench.”
[pdf] Unplug the Dremel and attach the appropriate sized drill bit. Begin drilling the material with the Dremel set on a slow speed. Hold the Dremel perpendicular to the material at all times. Once you start the hole, you can increase the speed to quicken the drilling process.
