Atlas Copco Secoroc presents the all-new Secoroc TRB drill bit range – the latest in soft rock drilling. Aimed at production drillers, this unique drill bit offers a greater penetration rate than any other bit – a penetration rate that is also sustainable throughout the bit’s service life.

Quality control should vie with productivity in determining the success of an operation. If the only directive to those in the field is to get it done fast, operators will take costly shortcuts to gain footage per hour and please the boss. But holes will angle off, safety will be compromised, and, ultimately, more expense will be incurred. Hissem recalls the advice of his grandparents to “make haste slowly.” Or, to use another maxim, look before you leap. “Rarely can one rush quality,” he says.

The February 2019 Kalana Main Mineral Resource Estimate utilises data and geological interpretations used by Denny Jones (2016) to estimate the Mineral Resource, plus geological interpretation and drill data compiled by EDV in 2018.

United Utilities has written to residents to explain that it is going to change the blend of water – using more from boreholes in Egremont and less from Ennerdale.

How quickly a bit will dull varies on its application. In hard, abrasive rock, an operator can get as little as 200 feet out of a bit — compared to the experience of a top-hammer drill operator in Oklahoma who told Hissem he once got 50,000 feet out of one. How do you know when to change out a bit? Hissem advises doing so when the diameter of the flat area of a worn button on a bit exceeds one third of the base diameter of the button. He compares a flattened button to a pair of flat shoes, which spread the weight of the wearer across the bottom of the shoe. Whereas, a rounded button is like a pair of stiletto high heels, which transfer the weight to the surface in a very small area. The smaller the button area touching the surface, the greater the psi and rock-breaking stress brought to bear upon the rock surface. “You never get 100 percent of the energy applied to the bit into the rock. The best you can get is 95 percent, with 5 percent bouncing back,” he says. The point is, the sharper the bit, the less energy reflection you will get, and the faster the bit will cut the rock.

The government of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan holds the pro-Kurdish HDP for the extended Arm of the PKK, which is classified in the Turkey and the EU as a terrorist organization. The HDP is contesting that. Ankara had announced that 2015 will be the peace process with the PKK.

At Climeworks’s offices in Zurich, I asked Valentin Gutknecht, who was at the time the company’s business-development manager, if he could bury in Iceland my emissions from my plane flight from the United States to Zurich. He had a written agreement he could print out and give me, but it wouldn’t be cheap, he warned. The price was running about $600 a metric ton, meaning my flight would cost about an extra $700. But I was hardly the first person to ask him. The weekend before, Gutknecht told me, he received 900 unsolicited inquiries by email. Many were from potential customers who wanted to know how soon Climeworks could bury their CO₂ emissions, or how much a machine might cost them. I had the sense I was getting a glimpse of what’s to come: A community of people — not large enough to make a difference, but nonetheless motivated — seemed ready to pay a premium to reverse their CO₂ emissions.

Gamebreaker: Napolioni Nalaga – the monster 16st 7lbs winger has 25 tries in the Champions Cup putting him in the top 10 European scorers list. His finishing ability will be vital if Irish are to stay in the league.
