Scientific Drilling Infrastructure

Prof. Leif Bjelm and Dr. Jan‐Erik Rosberg from the Department of Engineering Geology at Lund University have recently comissioned a Christensen surface core drilling rig, model CT20. The CT20 is a new design complying with the latest safety and environmental regulations and it has a technical capacity for diamond core drilling down to 2500 m in NQ‐size. A major part of the in‐hole equipment was delivered by Boart Longyear.
