TactEx X10 for Exploration Drilling
At Songela, our core business is delivering complete, high-quality core samples for mineral exploration, and that demands the best equipment. The TactEx X10 Diamond Drill is an indispensable tool in our fleet because it provides the cutting-edge reliability and adaptability our projects require, especially when operating in Canada’s diverse and challenging terrain.
We rely on the X10 because it’s been engineered for the real world. Unlike other rigs, its unique design allows it to seamlessly integrate into multiple platforms—whether we’re setting up a heli-portable fly camp or deploying a tracked unit for overland access. This flexibility is key to keeping our projects on schedule and budget.
Performance and Safety Features We Rely On
When our drillers are out in the field, they need a rig that is powerful, precise, and most importantly, safe. The X10 delivers on all fronts:
- Robust Pull Capability: The capacity to handle a 20-foot rod pull is a massive boost to our efficiency, minimizing downtime during rod handling.
- Heavy-Duty and Dependable: Its heavy-duty construction is critical for longevity. The last thing we need is equipment failure in a remote location, and the X10 is built to withstand those demanding applications.
- Enhanced Stability: The design, featuring an enhanced diameter with a double sheave, gives our team the necessary strength and stability for deep and accurate drilling.
- Mobility and Setup: The 312 steel cat track and hydraulic leveling cylinders make moving the drill and quickly establishing a stable, level setup faster and safer, allowing us to spend more time coring.
- Safety First: Features like remote operation and drop-down walkways are non-negotiable for Songela. They significantly improve site safety by keeping our crew out of harm’s way during setup, movement, and operation.
We value that TactEx combines decades of design and fabrication expertise to build this equipment. Knowing all parts and equipment are built in-house and are interchangeable across the platforms simplifies our logistics and ensures we can quickly source and install any specific parts we might need. The X10 is more than just a drill; it’s a reliable partner that helps Songela consistently achieve high-productivity rates and deliver the results our clients depend on.
