Huge congratulations to Cove on his latest achievement!

Cove is now a fully qualified NDT inspector of drilling and handling tools. He passed his ASNT Level 2 Magnetic Particle Inspection course in January 2026, and on the 13th May 2026, he passed his ASNT Level 2 Dye Penetrant Inspection course.

After he finished both courses, we were told by Nicholas Brown, a Level 3 instructor, how well Cove did and how keen he was to learn the general, specific, and practical elements of both courses.

With Cove now being fully qualified, it gives SlimDril the benefit of having two ASNT Level 2 Inspectors on the team.

In our purpose-built, break-out unit, we have the capability to make and break all drill pipe connections from 2 3⁄8″ OD to 8″ OD, with a maximum make-up torque of 65,000 ft-lbs.

We use non-marking dies and a floating head to ensure your threads are protected and perfectly aligned. Every connection is assembled to API standards, with full torque-graph reporting available for complete traceability.

If your tunnel muck fails regulatory slump tests, you're paying to haul heavy water off-site.

MuDD-Dry™ fixes this logistical headache by solidifying wet sludges right on the conveyor belt, so it can be moved out fast in standard dump trucks.

Take a look at the flyer below to see how it can cut muck management labour by 25%, lowers transport costs by 30%, and keeps your TBM pushing forward.

Today is World Telecommunication and Information Society Day, which is a great reminder of the massive network of fibre and telecom cables hidden right beneath our feet.

Installing these links in busy towns or under major obstacles is a huge challenge. You can’t always just dig a trench - it's too disruptive and slow, so that’s where HDD comes in.

We provide the precision guidance and specialised tooling needed to pull those essential cables through with zero surface disruption. Whether it’s crossing a motorway or a river, our kit helps keep the world connected.

How much could you save by reducing your site traffic? Traditional liquid waste disposal requires constant tanker movements, but by using MuDD-Dry to solidify waste on-site, you can transport material in standard tippers or skips.

This not only saves on your logistics costs, but also reduces the carbon footprint of your project. Cleaner, smarter, and more efficient waste management.
