Timber pads have many applications for Geotechnical, Environmental and Exploration Drilling as well as for helipads, filming platform and equipment staging. On projects with sloped terrain up to 48 degrees we can create an engineered horizontal surface that is load rated. Depending on your project requirements we have four classes based on anticipated load and dimensional requirements.
Everest Class - 50,000 lb Tracked Drill
Designed for tracked drill systems
- Standard 16′ x 26′ with optional wing extensions for sampling station
- Steel reinforced with pinned footing pads
- Working load of up to 50,000 lbs (223KN)
- Designed for LS250 Sonic Drilling Rig or similar
- OH&S fall protection options include aircraft carrier style or handrails
- Drill on slopes that previously were inaccessible
- Geotechnical investigation not limited by slope angle
- Lowers drilling time by providing a flat & secure platform to work on
- Minimum environmental impact – easily removed and ground remediated
Denali Class - 50,000 Heliportable Geotechnical Drill
