The second day of the conference's scientific and practical programme was marked by a report from Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor Nadezhda Filippova. The topic of the presentation was "Using the results of advance drilling from mobile all-terrain vehicle units to predict ore properties".
The essence of the report was the presentation of the installation of exploratory drilling equipment (URB type) based on our multi-axle amphibious all-terrain vehicles (6×6 and 8×8), equipped with ultra-low pressure tyres.
Advantages of the Solution for Geological Exploration:
The solution proposed by ZVEZDA Factory offers significant advantages compared to traditional heavy tracked drilling rigs, which often face problems of slowness, road destruction, and getting stuck in difficult conditions.
- Year-round access: amphibious vehicles allow work in swamps, on soft ground, and overcome water obstacles without the need for constructing permanent access roads.
- Speed: the time for relocating drilling equipment between ledges is reduced by 40–60%.
- Versatility: the ZVEZDA Factory all-terrain vehicle becomes not just a means of transport, but a full-fledged "mobile analytical cluster", combining a drilling mast, power unit, express laboratory, and satellite telemetry systems.
The implementation of such mobile complexes enables beneficiation plants to quickly obtain the necessary data, reduce the cost of exploration work, and operate efficiently in difficult climatic conditions.
We note that ZVEZDA Factory continues to develop advanced scientific and production areas, offering effective technical solutions to the industry.
