These include computer controlled volume batching and grout pumping stations, remote control drilling set-ups, cliff mounted rigs, difficult access plant and a selection of specialist production anchoring, jet grouting & mini-piling rigs which offer a very diverse and efficient operation.

Techniques Used

 

Geovert recently completed an extensive project as a subcontractor on the Blowering Dam upgrade.

McMahon Contractors awarded Geovert the contract work for drilling and installing 500 rock bolts for strengthening and widening the spillway which required advanced rigging and rope access techniques as the spillway was in excess of 45 degrees. Drilling methods included using track mounted rigs, excavator mounted rigs and rope access rigs. The second part of the contract was to design, supply and install 30m long, 19 no. 15.2mm strand anchors through the crest of the spillway. This work includes pre-grouting, video surveillance,  permeability testing and the installation and monitoring of load cells for the certified anchors.
