Contract Coal Augering by WESLO
The future of coal looks great. Recent studies by the U.S. Department of Commerce and others project that coal will soon replace natural gas as the U.S. fuel of choice for energy production. You need to get as much as you can from your existing coal reserves with highwall augering. This is where BryDet's sister company WESLO, Inc. comes in. Contract augering is an efficient, ecologically sound recovery method that adds to your output without adding significantly to your costs.

Augering offers many advantages : 1) Excellent recovery rates - Augering can produce up to 2000 tons per day depending on conditions and equipment. 2) High quality coal - Augered coal is typically as clean or cleaner than stripped coal. 3) Superior economic and production benefits - Augering offers a high ton per cost production ratio. |
When you contract with WESLO for augering services you will maximize your reserves. We have worked with some of the largest coal producers around the world and under a wide range of pit and weather conditions. We provide all equipment and manpower to facilitate maximum coal recovery. Our experienced field crews operate the equipment and supervise all aspects of production. They also take care of most maintenance and repair work right on site to keep down time to a minimum. Typically our augers have a 94% to 96% availability. With trained crews, low down time and the ability to drill up to 650 feet into the coal seam, WESLO will give you the kind of results you're looking for.
Additionally, WESLO can assist in all aspects of your highwall operation from site evaluation to a complete highwall mining plan including geotechnical evaluation. |
