Coal Mining-related services include:

• Water Transfer/Drainage: Large or small diameter water transfer boreholes to dewater adjacent or overlying mine pools, and/or to adjoin mine pools, allowing for mine pool control and discharge at one centralized location, minimizing treatment infrastructure and permitting.
  
• Methane Drainage/Gas Control: In-seam directionally drilled degasification boreholes from underground or surface, horizontal GOB boreholes, vertical well intercepts & underground gas gathering infrastructure design and installation, providing turn-key solutions.
  
• Abandoned Mine Verification (AMV): Providing mining safety near old works while also maximizing coal recovery.
  
• Geological Exploration: Directionally drilled horizontal boreholes for geological exploration to define post-depositional channeling, faulting and coal thickness in mining seam or overlying/underlying seams from surface or underground. Services include continuous or spot coring and geophysical logging.
  
• Utilities: Boreholes for installation of water pipelines, power, rock dust, etc.
