Program description:
Every drill site should receive dedicated attention when estimating the cost of the job and prior to the movement of heavy equipment. Each site is unique but the factors governing its selection are not: safety, accessibility, productivity, and efficiency. A careful site survey should alert the contractor to overhead and underground utility issues, clearances, traffic flow concerns, security challenges, and ground stability. You will learn how to sharpen your assessment skills for potential site problems, in addition to properly planning or rig setup and stabilization.
