Let's explore our new Massenza MI12 first Jobsite in Boltatanga, Ghana
The construction site was carried out in Bolgatanga, the capital of the Bolgatanga Municipal District and Upper East Region of Ghana, adjacent to the border with Burkina Faso.
The work consisted in the execution of drilling holes made with Reverse Circulation
Phase 1
The cuttings comes out from inside the rods and flows into a particular kit mounted on the head (Metzke Kit) which convey inside a cyclone to separate the cuttings
Phase 2
The geologist analyzes the cuttings
Phase 3
If the material is found interesting, once the holes are finished, the operators work in the area with the explosive
Phase 4
Once the rock has been demolished they begin to dig with excavators to continue the work autonomously
