These drills are the most powerful in our fleet, offering fast, accurate drilling results in a variety of formations.

Our LS600s Fleet excel where conventional drilling methods may struggle i.e. overburdened, Unconsolidated formations, Rock dumps, sands, Dam walls, to name a few. Consistently producing continuous samples in challenging formations.

As the LS600 drills with as little as 1% deviation to depth, the driller can pinpoint exact sampling locations.  

It is ideal for environmental and geotechnical work as the borehole is continuously cased, enabling the separation and sealing of aquafers and eliminating the risk of cross contamination.  

Benefit from lower dust production, reduced waste, and fluid-less drilling as Sonic Drilling can be conducted without the use of drilling fluids if required.
