We innovate for surface and underground mining, infrastructure, public works, well drilling and geotechnical applications. Rock excavation is an expensive business and much of our product development in this field is related to lowering mining and construction costs by improving customers’ productivity. Through increasing the efficiency of a drill, for example, we can reduce its energy consumption and emissions. Safety and automation are increasingly important in the mining industry.
