📌 Why Choose Boart Longyear?

Best For: Tier-one mining companies and large-scale drilling contractors who require a mix of high-performance carbide tooling and industry-standard coring technology.

  • Mastery of Powder Metallurgy: Boart Longyear is the expert of both carbide and diamond. They control the tungsten carbide grain size and cobalt binder at a microscopic level to create inserts with a superior balance of hardness and fracture toughness. Additionally, by evenly distributing synthetic diamonds throughout a composite matrix, these bits self-sharpen as they wear, allowing them to cut through much harder rock formations at faster speeds. This technical depth ensures that their bits resist both abrasive wear and catastrophic chipping in the most demanding rock formations.
  • TriVance™ Carbide Performance Technology: By optimizing button placement and flushing geometries, the TriVance™ series bits achieve significantly higher penetration rates and more efficient chip evacuation. For the buyer, this design minimizes energy loss and maximizes meters-per-shift, effectively lowering the "total cost of ownership" by extending the life of both the bit and the drill string.
  • Pioneering Wireline Technology (Genuine Q™ System): Boart Longyear revolutionized the industry by inventing the wireline core retrieval system. By allowing core to be retrieved from the bottom of the hole without pulling the entire drill string, this technology dramatically reduces "tripping" time and labor. For the buyer, this means significantly higher daily productivity and a safer environment for drilling assistants by minimizing manual rod handling.
  • 136 Years of Global Reliability & Digital Insight: Boart Longyear combines over a century of field experience with modern digital innovation. Through their Veracio data suite, they help miners make smarter, data-driven decisions on-site. Combined with a global logistics network and six manufacturing plants, they provide the scale and technical support necessary to keep large-scale international projects running without interruption.
