Technical Services
V2 Mining Services’ technical services are geared toward helping customers get the most out of their V-Series drill bits. We are committed to backing up our products with service capabilities that improve not only drill bit performance, but also add to the performance of the entire drilling operation.
Configuration
Site evaluation and bit selection
Choose the right drill bit and equipment for your ground conditions, drill rig, and drilling application. If the ideal drill bit is not readily available, we will design a new drill bit customised to suit your needs.
Drill configuration
Get the most out of your drill bits and maximise productivity by optimising drill settings and procedures. This service includes evaluation of drills with semi-autonomous and full autonomous operations and is integrated with our live data analytics capabilities.
Training
Driller training
Our driller training package consists of classroom-type training modules as well as hands-on training by a certified driller trainer and assessor. This helps improve productivity, reduces incidents, and minimises damage to equipment.
Management coaching
An often overlooked area of training is the specialised drilling training of managers. This comprehensive training package explains, in a very practical way, the requirements for managers to ensure they are running a good operation.
Drill bit schools
Learn the ins and outs of drill bit design and recommended operations to get the most out of your equipment. This includes strategies to optimise performance with both manual and automated drilling.
Analysis
Performance analysis
Our analyses and reporting support is a comprehensive service covering many areas including drill productivity and utilisation, drill bit performance and dull modes, and risk assessment and mitigation strategies.
Live data analytics
Modern drills with autodrill and measure while drilling (MWD) features add layers of complexity to traditional analysis methods. Our team specialises in the analysis of this vast data by combining our proprietary analysis techniques with industry knowledge to extract valuable insights.
Optimisation
Air and weight tests
These audits determine the optimal operating parameters to ensure the best performance from the equipment and give a good indication as to the level and effectiveness of a mine’s maintenance program.
Logistics management
We have fully developed logistics processes and the capacity to manage the volume of goods required to support the business. All elements of logistics are all integral to ensure costs are minimised and delays are avoided.
Monitoring services
Our dedication to providing premium site evaluations extends to ongoing analysis and support ensuring that peak performance is maintained and any maintenance issues are identified quickly.
