Details
The entire project was considered very difficult considering the geology of coarse sand, gravel and boulders, especially the bore of the Rio Culebrero. Other drilling contractors were approached, but they found the conditions too challenging. Finally A.Hak Drillcon BV made the commitment to execute the project. A.Hak Drillcon BV, using experienced staff, the right equipment and better use of drilling fluid, ensured that all bores have been successfully completed.
