A drilling jumbo should be matched to the tunnel section, the hole pattern and the drilling method. Boom reach, feed length and the specified rock-drill arrangement determine how the working face can be covered. These are the useful points to review when choosing an underground drilling platform, rather than relying on a general description of drilling power.

Mine development and tunnel construction are practical applications to discuss for this catalog entry. Site access and the provision of drilling services need to be considered alongside the work pattern. UHEEM can help review the supplied model designation and configuration so the equipment is matched to the intended underground task.
