Frequently Asked Questions

All Surefoot pile caps are fabricated using 350+ grade plates with variable thickness, starting with the T150 at 4mm thick to the S600 at 10mm thick, the driving guides are custom made to suit the micropiles.

The micropile is one of the main components of Surefoot. Each micropile is driven into the ground and together they resist the loadings applied to the Surefoot cap.

The size of our micropiles is a standard 32 Nominal Bore pipe with a minimum gauge of 2.6mm, although thicker gauges can be selected. They come in Hot Dipped Galvanized finish.

The Surefoot loads are determined using the relevant Australian Standards calculations. Surefoot can receive loads of up to 36 Tonne depending on the model. Further capacities can be achieved by combining models in groups and joining with steel sub frames. Surefoot is one of the only systems that has the capacity to resist high bending moments which means that it can be used for many purposes beyond typical construction such as communication towers, masts and wind turbines.

Depending on soil and environment characteristics, the minimum life span of a Surefoot system is over 50 years.

Pneumatic drilling/Hard rock drilling

Welcome to Northern Australian Foundations & Anchoring (NAFA), where we excel in pneumatic and hard rock drilling, essential services for the challenging terrains of Northern Australia.

Expertise in Hard Rock Drilling

Hard rock drilling is our forte. We specialize in penetrating the toughest rock formations, ensuring that your project’s foundation is solid and reliable. Our team is equipped with the knowledge and tools to tackle any drilling challenge.

Core Drilling: We retrieve precise rock samples from even the most remote areas, providing vital data for geo-testing and engineering analysis.

Top Hammer Drilling: Our preferred method for medium to hard rock, top hammer drilling is ideal for creating 20mm to 100mm holes up to 6 meters deep. This technique shines in underground projects, confined spaces, or areas that are difficult to access.

Down-the-Hole (DTH) Drilling: For larger-scale projects, DTH drilling is unmatched. It’s perfect for drilling holes over 100mm in diameter and reaching depths beyond 50 meters.

Pneumatic Drilling: Power and Precision

Pneumatic drilling is a cornerstone of our services. This technique uses air pressure for efficient and precise drilling, making it ideal for various applications, including:

  • Quick and clean drilling in hard rock
  • Efficient operation in remote or confined spaces
  • Minimal environmental impact

Our pneumatic drills are designed for high performance, ensuring that we can tackle any project, regardless of the complexity or location.

State-of-the-Art Equipment

Our fleet includes advanced drilling rigs, capable of handling diverse terrain and drilling requirements. Each rig is outfitted with a robust power source, hydraulic systems, and a selection of drilling tools to match the specific ground conditions. Our air compressors are the backbone of our pneumatic drilling operations, providing reliable air pressure for smooth and effective drilling.

Completing the Job

We don’t just drill. We ensure the integrity of your project with additional services like pressurized grouting and bar installation. Our rigorous testing process guarantees that every job meets our high standards of quality and safety.

Choose NAFA for Your Drilling Projects

At NAFA, we’re committed to delivering exceptional pneumatic and hard rock drilling services. Our expertise in handling the unique challenges of Northern Australia’s landscape makes us your ideal partner for any drilling project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hard rock drilling is a specialized drilling technique used to penetrate through solid rock formations. There are several types of hard rock drilling techniques, including rotary drilling, down-the-hole (DTH) drilling, and top hammer drilling. Top hammer drilling is the most commonly used technique for hard rock drilling, where the drilling bit is attached to the end of a drill string and is struck by a piston-driven hammer. This technique is effective in drilling holes of various sizes and depths in hard rock formations.

In order to perform hard rock drilling, specialized equipment and machinery are required. The drilling rig is the primary piece of equipment used for hard rock drilling, and it can be mounted on a truck, trailer, or crawler. The drilling rig is equipped with a power source, hydraulic systems, and a drilling tool. The drilling tool can be a drill bit, a hammer, or a cutter, depending on the drilling technique used. Additionally, air compressors are used to provide the air pressure required to operate the drilling tools.
