Helicopter drill moves & sling / long-line loads
Moving a drill between holes on a remote program is one of the most aircraft-dependent parts of a season. The wrong machine, the wrong weight class, or a poorly sequenced lift plan stalls the rig and burns budget. We source helicopters matched to your load classes and coordinate the sling and long-line work around your drilling schedule.
What this covers
- Matching helicopter class to rig weight, fuel, and the heaviest single lift
- Long-line / sling sequencing so the rig is flying when it needs to fly
- Coordinating lifts around active drilling and weather windows
- Staging fuel, rods, casing, and sundries alongside the rig move
- Backup aircraft planning so a single mechanical does not stop the program
Why it matters for the program
A drill move that slips a day pushes every downstream hole. Treating the lift as a planned logistics operation, not an ad-hoc call, keeps the rig turning.
