Civil Applications

As infrastructure requirements continue to multiply so does the need for safe, environmentally sensitive construction methods. Blind shaft drilling serves these concerns well. For instance, with our techniques it is possible to:

  • Access bodies of water through mechanical means without disrupting shorelines
  • Complete shafts for underground works in populated areas without using explosives
  • Treat wastewater in a confined space with maximum efficiency
  • Develop underground storage for oil, gas, nuclear waste and similar uses
  • Construct oil mines which utilize gravity drainage

Many other applications are still out there. With tunnels now connecting England and France, who knows, we may still get to China.
