Chris Lambert is Boart Longyear’s global product manager for coring tools, including rods, in-hole tools and diamond bits. His 20-year engineering and product development career has included materials, hydraulics, pumps and diesel engines.
As today’s drilling contractors focus on reducing operating costs to maintain profitability, the best way to reduce coring rod costs is to purchase rods that have the lowest cost per meter, rather than the lowest price.
