At Andean Drilling, we specialize in Conventional Raising, a cornerstone excavation technique essential for developing vertical voids within the labyrinth of an underground mine. This method, versatile in its application, can be executed either as an inverse Raise (drilled upwards) or a drop Raise (drilled downwards), depending on the specific requirements and geological conditions of the mine.

Our approach to Conventional Raising is meticulous, employing a strategic sequence of carefully planned, closely spaced, and accurately drilled holes. This precision drilling is designed to create a relief void, facilitating the subsequent excavation processes. Upon the completion of drilling, each hole undergoes a rigorous survey to ascertain that the quality of work adheres to the stringent Andean Drilling standards. This ensures that every project we undertake is executed with the utmost precision and care, reflecting our commitment to excellence.

Andean Drilling offers a comprehensive array of standard designs to suit various project needs, allowing for customization and flexibility in addressing the unique challenges of each mine. Our expertise in Conventional Raising finds application in several critical areas of underground mining, including:

• Production Stoping: Enhancing the efficiency and safety of ore extraction processes.
• Ventilation: Establishing essential airways to ensure the circulation of fresh air and maintain a safe working environment.
• Ore/Waste Passes: Facilitating the smooth transfer of ore or waste material between different levels of the mine.
• Manway/Escapeway: Creating secure and accessible routes for personnel movement within the mine.

To support these diverse applications, we maintain an extensive equipment list featuring a variety of drills tailored to meet the specific demands of Conventional Raising. We invite you to review our equipment list to determine the ideal drilling solution for your project needs.
