WaterBox – A Water Pump Built For Water-Hammer Drills
Down-the-hole (DTH) water-hammer drilling (also known as ‘Wassara drilling’) is used in sensitive drilling situations. One challenge with this kind of drilling has always been fluctuating pressure and flowrate. That’s why we created WaterBox™ – for greater precision. The MEDATech Borterra WaterBox is a self-contained diesel- or electric-powered unit that pumps water at the exact … Read more
