Fracture and Void Detection

 

Using measurements from drilling (MWD), our models can help detect when there could be fractures or voids in the rock mass. This allows you to better update geologic models as well as plan ahead for future roof and ground support.

Borehole Placement Optimization

 

Better understand how consistent your borehole placement is relative to your plan. We show you how this could change under different geologic conditions, crew changes, and drilling equipment.

Drilling Roadmap

 

Benchmark your best boreholes in a given rock type and understand the parameters that got you there. This roadmap can then be used when you are drilling in similar rock to be as efficient as possible, leading to massive cost savings. From production drilling to exploration boreholes, our drilling roadmap will help you get there as efficiently as possible.

Blasting Optimization

 

Our models use your MWD data and derived rock strength properties to correlate blasting to better fragmentation which ultimately leads to better production rates and minimized secondary blasting.

Rock Properties

 

Using industry standard equations as well as Bomvu proprietary ones, we can correlate changes in MWD data to rock properties such as unconfined compressive strength as well as changes in lithology. This is helpful when designing tunnels, shafts, ground support, and detecting strata of interest.

Crew, Operator, and Rig Performance

 

Benchmark crew, operator, rig performance, and productivity. Track goals such as total meters drilled in a given timeframe. Understand and breakdown productive time, unproductive time, and mobilization time. Minimize ware on bits and drilling equipment.
