Sandvik Mining & Rock Technology
“There are close to 150 Tunnelling projects under construction currently, and we foresee at least 6-7% growth in tunnelling projects.”
As a world-leading mining equipment manufacturer, Sandvik Mining and Rock Technology is committed to improving its customers productivity and profitability with the constantly evolving offering of equipment and tools, service and technical solutions for mining and rock excavation which covers rock drilling, rock cutting, crushing and screening, loading and hauling, tunnelling, underground drilling, quarrying, breaking, and demolition.
Sandvik Mining and Rock Technology products and services provide the maximum value in terms of performance, quality, safety, flexibility, and right solutions, to maximize its customers productivity and profitability.
Our fully-automated, computer-aided jumbo drills and dumpers deliver high productivity with precision, along with ease of operation and maintenance. We are fully geared to provide application and service support, even in the toughest of terrains.
However, insufficient geological data poses a threat to the optimum performance of machines during construction. “Since there is a dearth of exploration and complete analysis of terrains in different geographies, we associate with the contractor right from the conceptualization stage of the project and based on the analytical tools and an understanding of our equipment, we recommend the right machines, take preventive measures, and provide the necessary support.”
Contractors also have to contend with the high cost of the jumbo drills and their limited usage during construction, besides volatility in projects. “Contractors are assured of their rate of interest, given the high productivity of Sandvik machines, use of fleet management technology, along with predictive and preventive maintenance. All these measures ensure that contractors fully realize their capital and operating cost.
“We, at Sandvik, are always geared up for our customers in terms of offering our robust and comprehensive product applications and support in any given terrain, material or ground hardness.”
