The ADIA App vs Deswik.Drilling

The Australian Drilling Industry Association are excited to announce the release of our first-ever app. The app features useful information and tools for mineral exploration, waterwell, geotechnical and environmental sectors. Calculators There are 13 calculators which provide outputs for requirements like up-hole velocity using air or mud, fluid pump outputs, cementing volumes and mud density adjustments. Conversions The ability to convert units between metric and imperial when measuring length, volume, pressure and weight, etc. Reference Information Easy-to-use scrolling tables that show dimensions and weights for drill bits and the different types of drill rods used across the range of drilling methods including RC, waterwell, exploration and HDD. Fishing Flowchart  A useful step-by-step guide for planning a recovery operation of an object that has been left down the drill hole. Geology Identification This useful guide starts with the three main rock types and extends to the more specific grades, including their strength and rating on the Moh’s scale which will assist with correct drill bit selection.

Deswik’s Drilling App improves efficiency and accuracy in underground development. The app provides operators with the latest survey plans, an interactive mine map, face mark-up abilities, and an operator toolbox to guide users through complex mark-ups. Keep development headings on line, reduce re-work, overbreak and underbreak, and improve standards of work through best practice mark-up. Features: • Take the guess work out of the more difficult mark-ups such as laser offsets, angled drives and fillets. The Operator Toolbox includes tutorials to take operators through step-by-step best practice methods for marking up complex drives. • A built-in offset calculator allows operators to enter in the face distance, the laser offsets and then be stepped through the process of marking up the face efficiently and accurately. • Save time and eliminate the need to chase survey plans on the surface by accessing all the current plans for headings within the easy-to-read Dashboard. • An interactive mine map allows operators to see their work location, view the levels above and below, view survey station locations, and see the design and as-builts for each level. • Take photos and record data on the job, removing the need to file paper face mark-up sheets.
