Due to its modular configuration, Kluane machinery can be mobilized in different ways. The motors are the heaviest element of the equipment, each one weighing from 130 kg, in a KD-200 equipment, and 320 Kg in a KD-1700 drill.
Transported by personnel
When there are only roads, the equipment can be moved with personnel supplied by the Client or hired by Kluane. The assistants who perform this work are permanently accompanied by HSEQ supervisors so the maximum load weights per person are not exceeded. In this way, drilling more than 1000 meters deep can be carried out even if the platform is far away and it is not possible, for logistical or economic reasons, to use a helicopter.
Helicopter transportation
The equipment configuration makes it easier for its components to be transported separately in a 400 kg – 500 kg load capacity helicopter.
In addition, the thin-walled tubing that Kluane uses in operations is lighter and shorter in length, 1.5 m instead of 3 m, which facilitates mobilization by this method.
